Solution

The correct option is B Statement- 1 is incorrect and statement- 2 is correct.
Electrolytes are substances which conduct electricity either in the molten state or in the aqueous solution. NaCl is an electrolyte. Its ions are closely packed in solid state but are free to move in aqueous solution and molten state. So, it conducts electricity only in molten state or in the aqueous solution but not in solid state.
