Point 1 is true for all prime numbers.
For Point 2 to be true, the expression has to be divisible by 2P Or ((P-1)! +1) has to be divisible by 2, I.e. an even number. Hence, (P-1)! need to be odd number. For (P-1) >=2 the factorial is an even number. Hence, P must be less than 3. Being a positive integer it can be either 1 or 2.
Hence, both the conditions are not independently suffecient. But taken together we can have 2, the positive integer and a prime number fulfilling both the conditions.

Statement 1
The first statement indicates that p is a prime number.
However it can be any prime number, hence the statement is not sufficient.
Statement 2
From the second statement we can have p = 2 or p = 1.
Hence that's not sufficient as well.
Combining
Once we combine the two statements, the only value of p that's satisfies is p = 2
IMO C
