In the question below is given a statement followed by two options numbered 1 and 2. Based on this choose the correct option. Statement: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) makes International Standards by bringing together experts across the globe. Option 1: International Standards make products compatible, so that they fit and work well with each other. Option 2: They help identify safety issues of products and services, share good ideas and solutions, technological know-how and best management practices.

Correct option is C

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a global body that develops voluntary international standards across industries to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency.
Option 1 is correct: ISO standards promote compatibility and interoperability of products and systems (e.g., paper sizes, shipping containers, credit card sizes, software protocols), so they fit and function together globally.
Option 2 is also correct: ISO standards address safety, innovation, and best practices by helping industries identify risks, adopt safe technologies, and apply proven management practices (e.g., ISO 22000 for food safety, ISO 9001 for quality management).
Together, these functions improve trade, consumer safety, and trust.
Therefore, both Option 1 and Option 2 are correct → Option (c).
