A
1 and 2 only
B
3 only
C

D
1, 2 and 3
Correct Answer

Explanation

India is a member of all three organizations, having joined the MTCR in 2016, the SCO as a full member in 2017, and being a founding member (and second-largest shareholder) of the AIIB. Option (c) is the most tempting error if a candidate incorrectly assumes India avoids China-led financial institutions like the AIIB due to regional geopolitical tensions. This question tests the core concept of India’s strategic participation in diverse multilateral security, economic, and non-proliferation regimes.
