Explanation –

Statement-I: The ANRF is intended to support basic research and prototype development, as indicated by the governments plans to operationalize it for these purposes.

Statement-II: The Indian government has shown interest in supporting research that can lead to marketable products, as evidenced by its emphasis on prototype development and the encouragement of private sector involvement in research funding.

Hence, the ANRFs focus on prototype development aligns with the governments interest in turning research into marketable products. This suggests that the governments broader interest in commercializing research supports the operational goals of the ANRF.
