Correct option is C
The correct answer is (c) Neither 1 nor 2 is true
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is incorrect because Viksit Bharat 2047 is a broader vision to make India a developed nation by its 100th year of independence, encompassing economic growth, social progress, and good governance, not just the limited pillars mentioned.
• Statement 2 is incorrect; while India is exploring minerals, the specific figure of 1200 sites under a "National Critical Minerals Mission" as described is factually inaccurate in recent policy documentation.
Information Booster:
• Critical minerals include Lithium, Cobalt, and Rare Earth Elements essential for EVs.
• Viksit Bharat aims for a $30 trillion economy by 2047.

Only 2 is true (Option b)
• Incorrect as the data point is flawed.
1 and 2 both true (Option d)
• Incorrect as both statements contain inaccuracies.
So the correct answer is (c)
