Dear Student,
 
Correct option - (a) A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
 
Solution:
In Iodoethane, the bonding is between s orbital and 3 P orbitals, while in case of chloroethane, the bonding is between 2p and 3p orbital which is more effective.
Also, since less bond energy, it is easier to break C-I bond and hence, easier nucleophilic substitution.
