Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Election Commissioner Amendment Act, 1989 turned the commission into a multi-member body: a 3-member Commission has been in operation and the decisions by the commission are made by a majority vote. Earlier it used to be the single member body under the original Constitution.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The removal of the Chief Election Commissioner is in the same manner as the Supreme Court Judge. However, similar protection is not extended to the other Election Commissioners. The removal of the Election Commissioners can be initiated based on the recommendation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
