Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$:

Assertion $A$ : The stability order of +$1$ oxidation state of $\mathrm{Ga}$, In and $\mathrm{Tl}$ is $\mathrm{Ga}<\mathrm{In}<\mathrm{Tl}$.

Reason $R$ : The inert pair effect stabilizes the lower oxidation state down the group.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
