Solution

The correct option is C

Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect.


Of all the millions of microbes that have been categorised, although there exist a large number of microbes that are pathogenic to humans and other species of life, there exist several variants of bacteria that are very useful for life on earth. Hence, it is true that microbes are an important aspect of life on earth, but not all are necessarily pathogenic.
