Solution

The correct option is B 2 only
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The base year must be a representative year and must not experience any abnormal incidents such as droughts, floods, earthquakes etc. It should generally be a normal year. It must be a year which is reasonably proximate to the year for which the national accounts statistics are being calculated.
