Solution

The correct option is B Statement 1 is wrong but statement 2 is correct.
Human activities can alter all the natural cycles that we observe on Earth. For example water cycle is already under threat due to deforestation, dam construction, pollution etc. Irregularities in rainfall, fall in ground water levels and frequent droughts are some of the repercussions that we face due to disturbance in water-cycle.
