Consider the following statement:

The provided options and the correct answer A suggest a typical multi statement question where statements 2 and 3 are correct while statement 1 is incorrect.

In many UPSC geography or environment questions involving three statements, statement 1 often contains a factual error such as an incorrect location, a restrictive word like only, or an incorrect numerical value. Statements 2 and 3 are usually factual descriptions of a process, a protected area, or a scientific phenomenon that align with established data.

Since the specific text of the statements was not provided in your prompt, the selection of A indicates that the first premise was false, while the subsequent two points were verified as accurate. This pattern is common in questions regarding climate zones, national parks, or international treaties where the first statement might misidentify a primary characteristic.
