Exp) Option c is the correct answer.

Statement I is incorrect:  In 2022, India’s per capita emissions were 1.89 t CO2 per person. Per capita carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in India have soared in recent decades, climbing from 0.4 metric tons per person in 1970 to a high of 2.07 metric tons per person in 2023.

Statement II is correct: India ranks second in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of CO2 emissions from fuel combustion. China ranks first in the region, and India is second with 2,516.967 Mt CO2 emissions, according to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Statement III is correct: In India, electricity and heat production are the largest source of CO2 emissions. Specifically, the power sector, which is heavily reliant on coal, contributes significantly to the nation’s overall CO2 emissions, which directly impact climate change. In 2019, the power sector was responsible for about 70% of India’s total CO2 emissions, making it the single largest contributor.
