2 only
B
Neither 1 nor 2
C
1 only
D
Both 1 and 2
Correct answer: (c) 1 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) and Chandrasura (Lepidium sativum) are medicinal plants evaluated for scientific safety dossiers by CCRAS under the Ayush sector vision. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS) operates directly under the Ministry of Ayush, not the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
