Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A:$ The energy required to form $Mg^{2+}$ from $Mg$ is much higher than that required to produce $Mg^{+}$.
Reason $R:$ $Mg^{2+}$ is a small ion and carries more charge than $Mg^{+}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
