Solution

The correct option is A 1 only

Explanation:

  • Statement 1 is correct: The Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests and pro-democracy, uprisings, and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s.
  • Statement 2 is incorrect: Arab spring began in December 2010 from Tunisia. A Tunisian street vendor Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire to protest the arbitrary seizure of his vegetable stands by police over failure to obtain a permit. This led to an uprising against the government.
