Solution

The correct option is A Statement 1 and Statement 2 are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation for Statement 1.
$S N^{1}$ mechanism proceeds through carbocation formation. As the stability of carbocation increases, reaction favours $S N^{1}$ mechanism. Polar protic solvent stabilises carbocation so they favour reaction. In this reaction products formed are racemic due to the mechanism written above
Option A is correct.
