Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): In expensive scientific instruments, silica gel is kept in watch-glasses or in semipermeable membrane bags.
Reason (R): Silica gel adsorbs moisture from air via adsorption, thus protects the instrument from water corrosion (rusting) and / or prevents malfunctioning.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

MEDIUM
a) The isotope of carbon containing neutrons has natural abundance of
b) Among the IV A group elements, Sn has the lowest melting point
c) Silicon is the (by mass) most abundant element in the earth's crust
