Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 is true and statement 2 false.
The Alvars were 12 saint-poets who worshipped Vishnu. Periyalvar, Nammalvar and Andal, the daughter of Periyalvar are some of the notable mentions. Andal was the only woman among Alvar. A woman being a religious authority was something they could only dream of, at that time.
