Solution

The correct option is B 2 and 3 only
India does not posess any Biological and Chemical weapons and we have also signed international treaties against the same.
Generally disaster management is handled by the Ministry of Home Affairs, but the CBRN hazards also include the role of the Ministry of Defence, armed forces, Security and Intelligence agencies.
India has faced some major nuclear/Radiological disasters in the past: Eg. Kalpakkam Nuclear Plant, 1987; Leak of Cobalt-60 in Mayapuri, Delhi in2010.
