Correct answer: (c) 1 and 3 only
Explanation
- A
3 only
3 only. Statement 1 (360° sodium vs directional LED) also holds.
- B
2 only
2 only. LEDs outlast sodium; the lifespan claim is backwards.
- C
1 and 3 only
1 and 3 only. Sodium lamps throw light all around and are nearly monochromatic. LEDs are directional and give a broader, controllable colour. Sodium does not live longer.
- D
1, 2 and 3
All three. Statement 2 fails.
Summary. Official key is (c) 1 and 3 only. High-pressure/low-pressure sodium is omnidirectional and almost one colour. LED street lights are directional and better on colour. LED life is longer, not shorter, than sodium.
