Solution

The correct option is A STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
The negative ion (anion) is greater than its netral atom because the negative ion is having more electrons than neutral atom as this more electrons repel each other in ultimate shell and increases the size, and one more reason is that the nucleus attracts the outermost shell of negative ion with less force as it is having more electrons than neutral atom.
