Solution

The correct option is B Both the Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
HCl reacts with the metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series forming metallic chlorides and evolving hydrogen gas.
$M e t a l + H y d r o c h l o r i c a c i d \to M e t a l l i c c h l o r i d e + H y d r o g e n$
$Z n + H C l \to Z n C l_{2} + H_{2}$
