Solution

The correct option is A STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1
For the body to follow circular path, there must be a centripetal force. Here the astronaut is inside a satellite which is revolving around the earth under the influence of earth's gravitation. Thus, the earth's gravitation acts as centripetal force and the net force on astronaut is zero.
Statement 2 is right explanation of 1.
