Solution

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

Statement 1: Copper is a reducing agent in the reaction with silver nitrate solution.
Statement 2: Copper loses electrons in a reaction with silver ions.
Loss of electrons is oxidation. Thus, $C u$ itself is oxidized and hence acts as reducing agent.
Statement 1 is not correct but Statement 2 is correct.
$C u + 2 A g N O_{3} \to C u (N O_{3})_{2} + 2 A g^{+}$
