Why each option
All five phases of the ITIL Service Lifecycle - Strategy, Design, Transition, Operation, and Continual Service Improvement - are concerned with delivering and measuring value, not Service Operation alone.
Statement 1 is false because value measurement is not limited to Service Operation, so selecting both statements as correct is wrong.
Statement 2 is factually correct, so 'neither' is an incorrect choice.
Statement 2 is correct because value creation, delivery, and measurement is a unifying concern across every phase of the ITIL Service Lifecycle. Service Strategy defines value to be delivered, Service Design ensures services are built to deliver that value, Service Transition safely deploys value, Service Operation delivers value daily, and CSI continuously improves value - making the claim in Statement 1 that only Service Operation measures value factually incorrect.
Statement 1 is incorrect because all lifecycle phases contribute to and are concerned with the value of IT services, not Service Operation exclusively.
