Solution
The correct option is A Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct, but Statement 2 is NOT the correct explanation of Statement 1. Hydroxides of all alkali metals are the strong base but LiOH is least basic because the dissociation of LiOH is minimum in water. As LiOH is having maximum covalent character because of Fajans' Rule.
