With reference to India, consider the following pairs : Organization : Union Ministry I. The National Automotive Board : Ministry of Commerce and Industry II. The Coir Board : Ministry of Heavy Industries III. The National Centre for Trade Information : Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?
A
Only one
B
Only two
C
All the three
D
None
Correct Answer
Explanation
Option (D) is correct because all three pairs are mismatched: the National Automotive Board is under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, the Coir Board is a statutory body under the Ministry of MSME, and the National Centre for Trade Information is under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Option (A) is the most tempting wrong choice if a candidate incorrectly associates the Coir Board with Heavy Industries or NCTI with MSME based on general functional similarities. The core concept tested is the administrative jurisdiction and nodal ministries of various statutory and autonomous organizations in India.
