D. Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true

Explanation

To analyze the statements provided, we will break down each statement and evaluate their validity step by step.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1
**Statement 1:** Acetoacetic ester `(CH₃COCH₂COOC₂H₅)` contains `CH₃CO` group but does not give iodoform test.

- **Explanation:** The iodoform test is a qualitative test for the presence of a methyl ketone or a compound that can be oxidized to a methyl ketone. The presence of the `CH₃CO` (acetyl) group is necessary for a compound to give a positive iodoform test. However, acetoacetic ester is an ester and not a simple ketone. The presence of the ester functional group (`COOC₂H₅`) means that it does not have the necessary structure to undergo the iodoform reaction. Therefore, acetoacetic ester does not give a positive iodoform test despite containing the `CH₃CO` group.

**Conclusion:** Statement 1 is **True**.

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2
**Statement 2:** The H-atoms of the `CH₃` group are more acidic than those of the `CH₂` group.

- **Explanation:** In acetoacetic ester, the `CH₃` group is part of a ketone structure, while the `CH₂` group is adjacent to the carbonyl group. The acidity of hydrogen atoms is influenced by the stability of the resulting anion after deprotonation. The `CH₃` group has hydrogen atoms that are less acidic than the `CH₂` group because the `CH₂` group is adjacent to the carbonyl, which can stabilize the negative charge through resonance when the hydrogen is removed. Therefore, the hydrogen atoms of the `CH₂` group are more acidic than those of the `CH₃` group.

**Conclusion:** Statement 2 is **False**.

### Final Conclusion
- Statement 1 is True.
- Statement 2 is False.
