Answer 1

The correct option is A

Only statement​ 1 is correct.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. However, energy can be converted from one form to another. For example, our electric heater converts electric energy into heat energy, electric bulb converts electrical energy into light energy, etc. There are many such phenomena occurring around us in which energy is converted from one form to another.
