Correct Statement 2: Ethylenic double bond is more electron donating than a benzene ring

Q. Statement 1: Acrylic acid (CH2​=CHCOOH) is a weaker acid than benzoic acid (C6​H5​COOH). Statement 2: Ethylenic double bond is less electron donating than benzene ring.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true and the statement 2 is the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of the statement 1.

If Statement 1 is true but Statement 2 is false.

If Statement 1 is false but Statement 2 is true.

Correct Statement 2: Ethylenic double bond is more electron donating than a benzene ring

Q. Statement 1: Acrylic acid $(C H_{2} = C H COO H)$ is a weaker acid than benzoic acid $(C_{6} H_{5} COO H)$ .
Statement 2: Ethylenic double bond is less electron donating than benzene ring.
