Select the answer using the code given below:
Detailed Explanation:
Statement 1 — Correct. Oeko-Tex certification proves the silk is free from harmful chemicals. This helps Indian exporters compete in high-end global markets that demand safe, chemical-free products.
Statement 2 — Correct. This certification confirms Eri Silk meets international safety, environmental, and quality standards.
