Detailed Solution

The enthalpies of elements in their standard states are considered as zero or maybe +ve/-ve. 

On the other hand, the absolute enthalpy of any substance is not possible to determine.

H=E+PV

The internal energy cannot be determined. So, absolute enthalpy of any substance cannot be determined.

Hence, both the statements are true. But R is not the correct explanation of A.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.
