Answer:

Statement 2 is true and 1 is false ( C )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statements given above we can deduce that statement 2 is true while statement 1 is false and this is because there isn't one pure Nash Equilibrium in a pure strategy game that will solve the game as portrayed in statement 1, instead there will be two(2) pure Nash equilibrium.
