Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Model Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines issued by the Election Commission of India to regulate the conduct of political parties and their candidates in the run-up to elections and is aimed at ensuring free and fair elections. It doesn’t have any statutory backing; it has come to acquire strength in the past decade because of its strict enforcement by the EC.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The MCC is operational from the date on which the election schedule is announced until the date of the result announcement.
