Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A):$ The radius vector from the Sun to a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time and thus the areal velocity of the planet is constant.
Reason $(R):$ For a central force field,the angular momentum is a constant.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

$A$ planet revolving in an elliptical orbit has:
$(A)$ a constant velocity of revolution.
$(B)$ the least velocity when it is nearest to the sun.
$(C)$ its areal velocity is directly proportional to its velocity.
$(D)$ areal velocity is inversely proportional to its velocity.
$(E)$ a trajectory such that the areal velocity is constant.
