With reference to 'dugong', a mammal found in India, which of the following statements is/are correct? 1. It is a herbivorous marine animal. 2. It is found along the entire coast of India. 3. It is given legal protection under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Option (c) is correct because the Dugong (Sea Cow) is a strictly herbivorous marine mammal that feeds on seagrass and is granted the highest level of legal protection under Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Statement 2 is the most tempting error, but it is incorrect because Dugongs are not found along the entire coast; their distribution is restricted to specific pockets like the Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay, Gulf of Kutch, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The core concept tested is the specific habitat distribution, dietary habits, and legal conservation status of endangered flagship species in India.
