B II and III only
C I and III only
D I, II and III

Correct answer: (a) I and II only

Explanation

  1. A

    I and II only

    I and II only are not correct. NRP is a 2030 future-ready plan, not 2028. Kavach is RDSO/Indian, not a German joint product.

  2. B

    II and III only

    II and III only. That would mark the RFID line as not correct. The official pair is I and II.

  3. C

    I and III only

    I and III only. Drops the Germany line, which is not correct.

    I, II and III

    All three. III is not in the official ‘not correct’ set.

Summary. Official key is (a): I and II are the statements that are not correct. National Rail Plan’s horizon is 2030, not 2028, and Kavach is indigenous, not a German collaboration. RFID on track in station sections (III) is not in the official ‘not correct’ pair.
