Detailed Solution

Staiement-1: Amongst the oxo acids of halogens, HOCl,HOBr and HOI, the HOI is the list acidic acid because the I is not highly electronegative, most of the electron density remains in the O-H bond, making it more difficult for H to escape the molecule and making it a weaker acid.

Statement-2: The conjugate base stability is ClO->BrO->IO-

The acid is more likely to contribute a proton if the conjugate base is more stable. As a result, 

the stronger the acid, the more stable the conjugate base.

HOCl>HOBr>HOIpKa=7.58.610.6

Stability :  ClO->BrO->IO-

Hence correct option is D
