[A] 1 and 2 only

[B] 2 and 3 only

[C] 1 and 3 only

[D] 1, 2 and 3

Answer: D
Notes:

Explanation –

Statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct. India benefits from lower costs in solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy compared to global averages, making it a competitive player in renewable energy production. Polysilicon is a fundamental material used in the production of solar cells, which are essential components of solar panels. India is set to establish its first polysilicon manufacturing unit, which will help reduce the cost of solar modules. Green ammonia is produced using renewable energy sources and does not emit carbon dioxide during its production process. Green ammonia can be used as a zero-carbon fuel in the maritime industry. Green ammonia is produced using hydrogen obtained through water electrolysis and nitrogen separated from the air, utilizing renewable energy sources. Green ammonia can be used as an alternative fuel for internal combustion engines, offering a zero-carbon emission option for transportation and energy sectors.
