Solution

The correct option is C STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is False
HCl is a strong acid and protonates the oxygen atom of alcohol.
$R - O H + H C l ⇌ R - O H_{2}^{+} + C l^{-}$
Water is a better leaving group than chloride ion. Hence alkyl chloride is formed along with a molecule of water.
$R - O H_{2}^{+} + C l^{-} \to R - C l + H_{2} O$
