Solution
The correct option is A Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for statement-1 Electrophilic reagents are chemical species which, in the course of chemical reactions, acquire electrons, from other molecules or ions which have high electron density and these electrophilic reagents are electron deficient species. In the statement given above benzene and ethene have high electron density due to loosely bound π electrons can easily donate electrons to electrophiles.
