1. A. Only one
2. B. Only two
3. C. All three
4. D. None

Answer: B

Explanation

Let’s analyze each pair:
1. Unauthorized wearing of police or military uniforms: This action is indeed covered under Section 6 of The Official Secrets Act, 1923, which penalizes such unauthorized use. So, Pair 1 is correctly matched.
2. Knowingly misleading or otherwise interfering with a police officer or military officer when engaged in their duties: This offense is covered under Section 7 of The Official Secrets Act, 1923, particularly when related to prohibited places. The Indian Evidence Act, 1872, deals with the rules of evidence in legal proceedings, not with defining such offenses. So, Pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
3. Celebratory gunfire which can endanger the personal safety of others: The Arms (Amendment) Act, 2019, specifically introduced provisions to penalize celebratory gunfire that poses a risk to human life or safety. So, Pair 3 is correctly matched.
Therefore, only two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched. This question requires specific knowledge of various Indian laws and their provisions, which is relevant for understanding the legal framework.
