Option 1 : Statement 1 is correct

The correct answer is 1 i.e. Statement 1 is correct.

Explanation:

This compound contains 1 carbon atom which is indicated by writing 'meth'.
This compound has all single bonds, so it is saturated.
The saturated hydrocarbon is indicated by the ending 'ane'.
On joining 'meth' and 'ane', the IUPAC name of its compound becomes 'methane'.
This common name of CH₄ hydrocarbon is also methane.
Thus, the IUPAC name as well as the common name of the hydrocarbon CH₄ is the same, methane.
