Statement-1: Sodium hydride can be used as an oxidizing agent.

Statement-2: The lone pair of electrons on nitrogen pyridine makes it basic.

Chose the correct answer from the options given below  

Sodium hydride releases hydride ion along with sodium ion.

$\mathrm{NaH}\to {\mathrm{Na}}^{+}+{\mathrm{H}}^{-}$

Therefore, acts as a reducing agent.

Lone pairs of N present in sp² hybridized orbital which is perpendicular to pi-system of ring. Therefore, lone pairs of N is not involved in resonance. Due to the availability of lone pair on N in pyridine, it acts as a base.

Therefore, c is the correct option.
