A I only
B II only
C Both I and II
D Neither I nor II

Correct answer: (b) II only

Explanation

  1. A

    I only

    I only. BRSR for listed companies is a SEBI listing disclosure, not an RBI mandate.

  2. B

    II only

    II only. BRSR is largely non-financial ESG disclosure. That statement is scored. I is not.

  3. C

    Both I and II

    Both. I fails.

  4. D

    Neither I nor II

    Neither. II holds.

Summary. Official Set A key is (b) II only. Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report is SEBI’s format for listed companies (phased from FY 2021–22). It is ESG and largely non-financial — Statement II. Statement I is false: RBI does not mandate BRSR for all listed companies. So II only.
