The correct option is B 2 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is incorrect. It is the relationship between the level of investment made in the economy and the consequent increase in GDP.
Statement 2 is correct. Countries prefer lower ICOR. ICOR indicates the additional unit of capital or investment needed to produce an additional unit of output. A lower ICOR is preferred as it indicates a country's production is more efficient.
