- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect: the 15th ASEAN-India Summit was held in November 2017 in Manila — no ASEAN-India Summit took place in March 2022 (the 19th was in November 2022). Statement 2 is incorrect: in 2021-22 the United States overtook China to become India's largest trading partner, and the EU — while a major partner — is not India's largest regional trading partner. Since neither statement is correct, the answer is option D.
