The correct option is A Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false

The first Abraham Darby invented a blast furnace in 1709 which used coke instead of charcoal to generate higher temperatures. The second Darby further refined the process with more invention. He developed wrought-iron from the pig iron obtained by the smelting process. The cast iron bridge near Coalbrookdale of Shropshire in England was designed by the third Darby.
