  1. A1 and 3
  2. B2 and 3
  3. C2 only
  4. D3 onlyCorrect

Explanation

The correct answer is D because only the third statement is accurate. Statement 1 is incorrect because at the time this question was framed, the Chairperson of the Childrens Film Society was Raveena Tandon, not Hema Malini. Hema Malini had held the post earlier, from 1999 to 2002. Statement 2 is incorrect because Yash Chopra was never the Chairman of the Central Board of Film Certification. During that period, the position was held by figures like Sharmila Tagore. Statement 3 is correct because all three legendary actors mentioned have been honored with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, which is Indias highest award in cinema. Raj Kapoor received it in 1987, Dilip Kumar in 1994, and Dev Anand in 2002.
