Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: The first ionization enthalpy of $O$ is lower than that of $N$ and $F$.
Reason $R$: The loss of an electron from $O$ leads to a stable half-filled $p$ orbital.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
