Explanation
- A
1 only
Statement 1 claims that India's LT-LEDS is a crucial tool for achieving net-zero emissions by 2070, and Statement 2 attempts to link this to a reported decrease in 2020 emissions via BUR-4. However, this option is incomplete as it ignores the relation in Statement 2 and 3.
- B
1 and 2
This option groups statements 1 and 2, but statement 3 is also critical in assessing the overall approach to climate-resilient development frameworks.
- C
2 and 3
This option groups statements 2 and 3, omitting the foundational role of the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy mentioned in statement 1.
- D
3 only
This option singles out statement 3 alone, failing to capture the comprehensive structural relationships intended in the question design.
Summary. The UPSC dropped this question from the final evaluation due to ambiguities in evaluating the interrelationships among the given statements.
