Answer
Only Statement 2 is correct
Reason — Statement 1 is incorrect because publicity is non-personal stimulation of demand which is NOT paid for by the sponsor; the message originates from the media, not the advertiser. Statement 2 is correct because advertising is a paid form of non-personal presentation in which the advertiser pays the media owner for space or time.
