The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both statements and determine their validity and relationship. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement-1 **Statement-1**: Chlorine bleaches vegetable or organic substances in the presence of moisture. - Chlorine (Cl₂) is known for its bleaching properties, especially in the presence of water (moisture). It reacts with organic substances and can decolorize them. Therefore, this statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement-2 **Statement-2**: \( Cl_2 + H_2O \rightarrow 2HCl + [O] \) - This reaction shows chlorine reacting with water to produce hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nascent oxygen ([O]). The nascent oxygen is responsible for the bleaching action of chlorine. This reaction is indeed valid and illustrates how chlorine acts as a bleaching agent in the presence of moisture. Thus, this statement is also **true**. ### Step 3: Relationship Between the Statements - Since Statement-2 provides a chemical explanation for the bleaching action mentioned in Statement-1, we can conclude that Statement-2 correctly explains the process described in Statement-1. ### Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1. Therefore, the correct option is **A**.
