Solution

The correct option is D Statement-I is false but statement-II is true.
Statement 1 is clearly incorrect because we know that acetaldehyde undergoes aldol condensation reaction because it has 3 alpha hydrogen atoms.
Statement 2 is also true because we need presence of alpha hydrogens for aldol conddensation to take place
