Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are correct?

The binding energy of deuteron $_1^2H$ is $1.112 \, MeV$ per nucleon and an $\alpha$-particle $_2^4He$ has a binding energy of $7.047 \, MeV$ per nucleon. Then in the fusion reaction $_1^2H + _1^2H \to _2^4He + Q$,the energy $Q$ released is ........ $MeV$.

Carbon-$11$ decays to boron-$11$ according to the following formula:
${ }_{6}^{11} C \rightarrow{ }_{5}^{11} B +e^{+}+ v _{e}+0.96 \,MeV$
Assume that,positrons $\left(e^{+}\right)$ produced in the decay combine with free electrons in the atmosphere and annihilate each other almost immediately. Also,assume that the neutrinos $\left(v _{e}\right)$ are massless and do not interact with the environment. At $t=0$,we have $1 \,\mu g$ of ${ }_{6}^{11} C$. If the half-life of the decay process is $t _{0}$,the net energy produced between time $t=0$ and $t=2 t _{0}$ will be nearly ........... $MeV$.

This question contains Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: Energy is released when heavy nuclei undergo fission or light nuclei undergo fusion.
Statement-$2$: For heavy nuclei,binding energy per nucleon increases with increasing $Z$,while for light nuclei,it decreases with increasing $Z$.
