If both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A).

Option B is correct because both the assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. Both

{N}_2

and

{NO}^+

are diamagnetic, but this is due to their electronic configurations, not just because they are isoelectronic.
