Solution

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

Statement 1: Elemental iodine has a higher boiling point than the elemental bromine because of the higher molecular mass of $I_{2}$ than the $B r_{2}$ .
Statement 2: Iodine does not form stronger covalent bonds than $B r$ because size of iodine is larger due to which the bond becomes longer in length and longer bond is weaker, hence, forms weaker covalent bond.
