C. Both the statements are false. — The chemical formula for baking soda is NaHCO3, not CaSO4·(1/2)H2O (which corresponds to a different compound, Plaster of Paris). Baking soda is commonly used in cooking, cleaning, and neutralizing odors, but it is not typically used for making toys, materials for decoration, or smoothing surfaces. Its primary use is in neutralizing acids and basic cleaning tasks, making both statements incorrect.
