Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) 2 and 3
ISO’s central secretariat is in Geneva, Switzerland—not Rome—so Statement 1 is wrong. ISO 9000 is the family of standards dealing with quality-management systems, while ISO 14000 deals with environmental-management systems; Statements 2 and 3 are both correct. Hence only Statements 2 and 3 are correct. ([iso.org](https://www.iso.org/contact-iso.html?utm_source=openai))
