Department of: Official Language Ministry of Human Resource 3. Department of: Drinking Water Supply Ministry of Water Resources Select the correct answer using the codes given below: Codes:
- A1
- B2
- C3
- DNoneCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because none of the pairs provided are correctly matched.
First, the Department of Women and Child Development is a separate Ministry known as the Ministry of Women and Child Development, not under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
Second, the Department of Official Language falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs, not the Ministry of Human Resource Development now known as the Ministry of Education.
Third, the Department of Drinking Water Supply is under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. At the time this question was originally framed, it was under the Ministry of Rural Development, not the Ministry of Water Resources.
Since all three pairings are incorrect, the answer is None.
