Answer: (C)
Agentic AI is designed to pursue goals through multi-step planning, decision-making and action, unlike conventional AI, which typically responds to individual inputs or predefined tasks. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Agentic AI can interact with external tools, applications, APIs or databases to perform actions required to achieve a given objective. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Agentic AI does not always operate without human intervention or oversight. Human approval, monitoring or intervention can be incorporated, particularly for sensitive or high-risk tasks. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
Agentic AI can adapt its actions based on feedback and the outcomes of previous actions, allowing it to modify its approach while pursuing a goal. Hence, statement 4 is correct.
Therefore, statements 1, 2 and 4 only are correct.
Hence, option (2) is the correct answer.

The Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari Initiative, launched in 2024 under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, focuses on enhancing water recharge through measures such as rainwater harvesting, aquifer recharge, borewell recharge and recharge shafts.
The initiative follows a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, encouraging participation from government agencies, local communities, industries, NGOs and Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs).
Its major objectives include:
○ Increasing groundwater levels by capturing and storing rainwater and surface runoff.
○ Promoting water conservation through community participation.
○ Enhancing climate resilience by improving water storage and providing a buffer during droughts.
○ Improving water quality through artificial recharge and natural filtration during groundwater percolation.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Answer: (A)
Statement 1 is Correct: The SUMAN (Surakshit Matritva Aashwasan) Roadmap 2030 is a national strategy of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Government of India. It aims to achieve zero preventable maternal and newborn deaths by 2030 through a life-cycle approach anchored in the RMNCHA+N (Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Adolescent Health + Nutrition) framework. Thus, the framework integrates reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health with nutrition across the life cycle.
Statement 2 is Correct: The Roadmap provides targeted interventions in 130 high-burden districts across 13 high-focus States, while also outlining strategies for all States and Union Territories. This combines focused interventions in high-burden areas with wider national coverage.
Statement 3 is Incorrect: The Roadmap is not centred primarily on intrapartum surgical enhancements. It follows a broader continuum-of-care approach covering pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, childbirth and postnatal care. It also incorporates digital health systems, referral mechanisms, community participation, nutrition and climate-responsive healthcare.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
