Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Statement-I is incorrect, but Statement-II is correct
India resumed—and is again receiving—imports of U.S. apples after retaliatory duties were lifted in September 2023, so Statement-I is incorrect. Under draft GM-food regulations, no person may import any food produced from genetically-modified organisms without prior approval of the Food Authority/GEAC, making Statement-II correct. Therefore, Statement-I is false and Statement-II true.
