Solution

The correct option is A Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is true, Statement - 2 is a correct explanation for Statement -1
Both the statements-1 and -2 are true. Fe is +1 oxidation state because NO is present as NO+ . Electronic configuration of Fe+ is [Ar]3d64s1. The electron present in the 4s orbital shifts to the 3d orbital giving rise to 3d7 configuration. The ligands H2O and NO+ are weak and cannot cause the pairing of 3d electrons
Fe+ :[Ar]3d74s0

It has three unpaired electrons.
