Correct Answer: B — 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 describes hydrogen from natural gas reforming with carbon capture, which is generally classified as blue hydrogen, not green hydrogen.
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using renewable electricity, so statement 2 is correct.
The National Green Hydrogen Mission is also targeting roughly 50 MMT annual greenhouse-gas abatement by 2030, so statement 3 is accepted.
