B. Only two
C. All the three
D. None✓ Correct

Detailed Solution

✓ Correct Answer: Option D

Let's examine each pair: I. The National Automotive Board (NAB): This board functions under the Ministry of Heavy Industries, not the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Its role is to promote and develop the automotive sector.

So, this pair is incorrectly matched. II. The Coir Board: This is a statutory body established for the promotion and development of the coir industry. It functions under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), not the Ministry of Heavy Industries.

So, this pair is incorrectly matched. III. The National Centre for Trade Information (NCTI): This organization provides trade information and market intelligence. It functions under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, not the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME).

So, this pair is incorrectly matched. Therefore, none of the above pairs are correctly matched. Knowledge of government organizations and their parent ministries is important for UPSC Polity & Governance and Economy.
