Correct answer: (a) 1 and 2 only
Explanation
- A
1 and 2 only
1 and 2 only. NGRBA (2009) takes the river basin as the planning unit and leads national Ganga conservation. The Prime Minister chairs it; Chief Ministers of basin States are members, not rotating chairs. That stored letter is the official key.
- B
2 and 3 only
2 and 3 only. National spearhead is right, but the rotating-CM chair is false, so this pairing is not the key.
- C
1 and 3 only
1 and 3 only. Basin-scale planning is right; statement 3 on the chair is not. This letter is not the key.
- D
1, 2 and 3
All three. Statement 3 fails, so all three cannot be the key.
Summary. Official key is (a) 1 and 2 only. NGRBA plans at basin scale and coordinates nationally under the Prime Minister, not a rotating Chief Minister. Honour the stored letter (a).
