Statement 1 : Molecules that are non-superimposable on their mirror images are chiral.
Statement 2 : All chiral molecules have chiral centres.

Options

A. Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 3
B. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 3
C. Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False.
