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.
In the process of freezing, water loses its heat to the surroundings, so it is an exothermic process.
Energy is released when covalent bonds are formed. This is because, when a chemical bond is formed between two atoms, the electrons go from higher energy atomic orbitals to lower energy molecular orbitals.
The loss of energy by the electrons coincides with release of energy as heat.
