Question:

Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Stability of most complexes with the alkaline earth metals is in the order Mg2+ > Ca2+ > Sr2+> Ba2+ 
Reason R :For type A ions, Electrostatic model approximately explain the stability of metal-ligand complexes that is, stability of these complexes is positively correlated with the ratio of Z2/r for both metal ion and the ligand species. 
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
