Explanation

  1. A

    1 and 2 only

    1 and 2 only. ABDM is voluntary for hospitals and citizens; not a must-join mandate.

  2. B

    3 only

    3 only. The architecture is built for nationwide portability of health records.

  3. C

    1 and 3 only

    1 and 3 only. Private/public ‘must adopt’ over-claims.

    All three. Universal coverage is the aim of Ayushman Bharat at large; ABDM itself is opt-in.

Summary. Official key is (b) 3 only. Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission is not a compulsory onboarding of every private hospital or every citizen. Health IDs and records are designed to be portable across India — that is the keyed limb.
