Solution

The correct option is D
Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct.

Statement 1 not correct because only a few alpha particles were deflected in the Rutherford experiment. Most alpha particles passed without deflection as most part of the atom is empty.
Statement 2 is correct because alpha particles that came close to the positively charged nucleus were deflected.
Hence, option $C$ is correct i.e. Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct.
