- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Kudankulam units 3 and 4 are being built with Russian cooperation — Rosatom is supplying the VVER-1000 reactors under the India–Russia civil nuclear agreement. Units 5 and 6 are likewise a Russian collaboration (construction began in 2021), not an American one; the United States has no reactor project at Kudankulam. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
