Assertion (A): The coefficient of volume expansion is three times the coefficient of linear expansion for the same material. | Reason (R): The increase in dimensions of a body due to temperature change is called thermal expansion.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.
