Solution

The correct option is D
Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct

1. False.A with 7 valence electrons require one electron to complete its octet so B donates one electron to A forming two atoms of A and one atom of B $A_{2} B$ .
2. True.B donates its electrons to fill the outer shell of A
