Given below are two statements: one is labelled as “Assertion A” and the other is labelled as “Reason R”
Assertion A: In the complex $\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_4$ and $\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_5$, the metals have zero oxidation state.
Reason R: Low oxidation states are found when a complex has ligands capable of $\pi$-donor character in addition to the $\sigma$-bonding.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the option given below.
