Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true and Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1.
Chelating ligand: a ligand that is attached to a central metal ion by bonds from two or more donor atoms.
And chelating ligand must posses two or more lone pair at such a distance that it may form suitable strain free ring at the metal ion.
NH2NH2 is not a chelating ligand as it forms three member ring which will not be stable due to strain and charge repulsion.
