The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding the aims and objectives of the Genetic Engineering Approval Committee (GEAC) are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Role of GEAC**: - The Genetic Engineering Approval Committee is responsible for regulating the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in India. It ensures that GMOs are safe for the environment and human health before they are approved for commercial use. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - **Statement I**: "To permit the use of genetically modified organisms and their product for commercial applications." - This statement is **correct**. GEAC does permit the use of GMOs and their products once they have been evaluated for safety and efficacy. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - **Statement II**: "To adopt the procedures for restriction, production, and application of GM organisms." - This statement is also **correct**. GEAC establishes guidelines and procedures for the production and application of GMOs to ensure they are used responsibly and safely. 4. **Analyzing Statement III**: - **Statement III**: "Approval to conduct large-scale field trials and release of transgenic crops in the environment." - This statement is **correct** as well. GEAC provides approval for conducting large-scale field trials of transgenic crops, ensuring that these trials are conducted under controlled conditions to assess their impact on the environment. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since all three statements are correct, the answer to the question is that all the statements provided are true. ### Final Answer: All three statements (I, II, and III) are correct. ---
