Explanation:

- Statement 1: The allocation for MGNREGA saw a significant decline in the 2023-24 Union Budget compared to the previous year. This statement is correct, as MGNREGA did indeed receive a substantial reduction in its budget allotment, making it one of the areas with the highest percentage decrease.

- Statement 2: While the Jal Jeevan Mission did receive a notable increase in its allocation, it was not the scheme with the highest percentage growth in the budget. There were other schemes with higher percentage growth.

- Option 1, Both 1 and 2: Incorrect, because while statement 1 is correct, statement 2 is not.

- Option 2, Only 1: Correct, as only the first statement about MGNREGA is true.

- Option 3, Only 2: Incorrect, as the statement about Jal Jeevan Mission is not the highest growth.

- Option 4, Neither 1 nor 2: Incorrect, because at least one statement (statement 1) is true.
