Detailed Solution

ZnS partial ppt. occurs in neutral solutions due to  S2-ion conc. Derived from H2S is too severely reduced [H+] Acid, preventing Ksp of ZnS from being significantly surpassed. By eliminating [H+](Acid) alkali solutions raise  [S2-)],which increaseses the zinc sulphite precipitate. So,statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.Hence, option B is correct.
