C Correct answer
Explanation

Statement (1) is correct. At higher altitudes, nose bleeding occurs because at higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure decreases as a result the blood vessels of nose burst and cause bleeding. Statement (2) is correct. Sublimation is the process of conversion of solid directly into gaseous state. Therefore, Naphthalene balls disappear with time without leaving any solid.
