Solution

The correct option is A
Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

Statement 1: A synthesis reaction that is non-spontaneous and has a negative value for its heat of reaction will not occur until some heat is added.
A negative value for its heat of reaction indicates that the reaction is exothermic reaction. Such reactions are favored at low temperature or when heat is removed. But the reaction will not start until certain heat is supplied to overcome the activation energy barrier.
Statement 2: Non-spontaneous exothermic reactions need enough activation energy to get them started.
Hence, both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
