Hi, the statement 2 is true but just tells about the type type combustion to which the reaction given in statement belong. it does not tell about actual cause of burning of phosphorus in air at room temperature. the reason for statement 1 is that phosphorus is a highly reactive element that's why burns in air at room temperature.

The answer is A. You should Read the book twice again. But even then also you think that the answer is B than the book is a spam. Adaptation is the permanent feature of an organism which helps it to survive in its habitat, while acclimatisation is a temprory feature or change in feature of an organism which helps it to survive in any other place rather than its habitat......................................................................
