Two statements, one Assertion (A) and the other Reason (R) are given. Choose the correct option.

Assertion: 2-aminoethanoic acid and p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid can exist as Zwitter ions while p-aminobenzoic acid cannot.

Reason: When the acid group is a relatively strong proton donor and the $-\mathrm{NH}_2$ group is sufficiently basic it can accept a $\mathrm{H}^{+}$ion from the acid group to form the dipolar ion.
