Heavy water is used for slowing down the speed of neutrons in nuclear reactors, hence used as moderators Boiling point of heavy water is greater (374.42 K) than that of ordinary water (373 K), hence heaver water is more associated.

The dielectric constant of ordinary water is greater than that of heavy water, hence ordinary water is a better solvent.
Thus, the statements (a) and (b) are correct.

Therefore, the correct option is (1).
