- A1, 2 and 3 only
- B2 and 3 only
- C1, 2 and 4 only
- D3 only
Explanation
The Mother's Absolute Affection (MAA) programme of the Health Ministry is devoted exclusively to promoting breastfeeding, so its undiluted focus on breastfeeding (3) is correct. Free no-expense delivery for pregnant women is the Janani Suraksha Yojana (1 is wrong), assured comprehensive antenatal care is the Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (2 is wrong), and medical and nutritional care of severely acute malnourished children belongs to other nutrition missions (4 is wrong). Hence statements 1, 2 and 4 are not correct.
