Solution

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

Chlorine has the ability to take electrons from both bromide ions and iodide ions. Bromine and iodine can't get those electrons back from the chloride ions formed.
That means that chlorine is a more powerful oxidising agent than bromine.
Similarly, bromine is a more powerful oxidising agent than iodine. Bromine can remove electrons from iodide ions to give iodine and the iodine can't get them back from the bromide ions formed.
Down the group the size increase, hence, bromine has larger size than the chlorine.
