- A1, 2 and 3
- B1 and 2 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D3 only
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct; statement 3 is not. The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) was incorporated in December 2021 under the DPIIT with the aim of democratising e-commerce through open, interoperable networks. However, India had not surpassed China in e-retail penetration in 2024 — China's e-commerce penetration remains far higher than India's — so statement 3 is false.
