Given below are two statements : one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R : Assertion A : The H…O…H bond angle in water molecule is 104.5…. Reason R : The lone pair - lone pair repulsion of electrons is higher than the bond pair - bond pair repulsion. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Option A. due to lp - lp repulsion bond angle decrease.
