Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). 
Assertion (A) : Experimental reaction of CH₃Cl with aniline and anhydrous AlCl₃ does not give o and p-methylaniline.
Reason (R) : The -NH₂ group of aniline becomes deactivating because of salt formation with anhydrous ${\mathrm{AlCI}}_3$ and hence yields m-methyl aniline as the product. 

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
