    1, 2 and 3

    Statement 1 is correct because the Manipuri film 'Boong' won the prestigious BAFTA Award in the Children's and Family Film category. Statement 2 is correct as the feature film is directed by debutant filmmaker Lakshmipriya Devi.

  2. B

    2 and 3 only

  3. C

    This option is incorrect because it excludes statement 3, ignoring the historic milestone that 'Boong' is the first Indian film to win a BAFTA award in this category.

  4. D

    This option is incorrect because it excludes statements 1 and 2, both of which are accurate factual details concerning the film's recognition and its director.
