Solution
The correct option is D Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1. Statement 1 is true since Gauss law for magnetism states that the net magnetic flux out of any closed surface is zero. This amounts to a statement about sources of magnetic field.
The magnetic flux directed in word towards the south pole will equal the flux outward from the north pole.
If there exist a monopole sources, this would give a non-zero area integral and thus magnetic monopoles of not exist
