B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect because the Constitution of India does contain provisions related to the state legislature secretariat (for example, Article 187 deals with the Secretariat of the State Legislature). Statement 2 is correct because the Constitution does not specifically enumerate the powers and functions of the Chief Secretary - these are derived from rules made under Article 166 and the state's business of government rules.
