B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 2 alone is correct. Article 105(2) grants MPs exemption from attendance as witnesses in courts. Statement 1 is incorrect because MPs can be arrested in criminal cases even during session - Article 105 only protects them from arrest in civil cases 40 days before/after/during session.
