[B] Only two

[C] All three

[D] None

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation–

  • Only the first statement is correct — NTCA is indeed a statutory body.
  • The second statement is wrong because NTCA is chaired by the Union Environment Minister, not the Prime Minister.
  • The third statement is also wrong — the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) does not serve as the Member Secretary; instead, that role is held by a senior official from the MoEFCC.
