Answer 1

The correct option is C Only 2, 4 and 5

The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) is a policy document prepared keeping in mind that India's economic need to tap its natural resources needs to be tempered with the need to maintain ecological balance.
It consists of 8 sub missions:

1. National Solar Mission
2. National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency
3. National Mission on Sustainable Habitat
4. National Water Mission
5. National Mission for Sustaining the Himalayan Ecosystem
6. National Mission for a “Green India”
7. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
8. National Mission on Strategic Knowledge for Climate Change

The government will soon add four new ‘missions’ to the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC), to promote

• Wind energy
• Human health
• Coastal resources
