A
Both 1 and 2
B
2 only
C
1 only
D
Neither 1 nor 2
Correct answer: (c) 1 only
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct because the NHRC is indeed a statutory body created under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Statement 2 is incorrect because drug regulation and pharmaceutical oversight do not fall under the Ministry of Culture; drug standards are regulated by bodies like the CDSCO under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
