Solution

The correct option is C
Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.

Statement 1: The structure of $S O_{3}$ is shown by using more than one structural formula.
Statement 2: $S O_{3}$ is very stable and resonates between these possible structures. These resonance structures are as shown in the above image.
Due to resonance, each sulfur oxygen bond in $S O_{3}$ molecule has partial double bond character. The resonance imparts extra stability to $S O_{3}$ molecule.
Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.
