Detailed Solution

Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

Due to the influence of one nucleus on atomic orbitals, which are monocentric, and two or more nuclei on molecular orbitals, which are polycentric. The quantity of atomic orbitals determines how many molecular orbitals are created. When two atomic orbitals merge, they create two molecular orbitals.

Hence correct option is A.
