Answer 1

The correct option is B

Both the statements are true but statement 1 is not the correct explanation of statement 2.

Stars have their own light and twinkle in night, but a planet does not have their own light.

Planets reflect light, which falls on them from the sun. Stars appear to twinkle due to some other phenomenon (known as refraction) which you would have a detailed study in higher classes.
