Consider the following statements : 1. "The Climate Group" is an international non-profit organization that drives climate action by building large networks and runs them. 2. The International Energy Agency in partnership with the Climate Group launched a global initiative "EP100". 3. EP100 brings together leading companies committed to driving innovation in energy efficiency and increasing competitiveness while delivering on emission reduction goals. 4. Some Indian companies are members of EP100. 5. The International Energy Agency is the Secretariat to the "Under2 Coalition". Which of the statements given above are correct ?

A
1, 2, 4 and 5
B
1, 3 and 4 only
Correct Answer
C
2, 3 and 5 only
D
1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Explanation

Option (B) is correct because the Climate Group is a global non-profit (1) that leads the EP100 initiative to promote corporate energy efficiency (3), with several Indian firms like Mahindra & Mahindra and Dalmia Cement being active members (4). Options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect because they include Statement 2 and Statement 5, whereas EP100 was actually launched in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy (not the IEA), and the Climate Group itself—not the IEA—serves as the Secretariat for the Under2 Coalition. The core concept being tested is the institutional leadership and specific partnerships of major international climate and energy efficiency initiatives.
