C3, 4 and 5 only
D4 and 5 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 4 and 5 only
Explanation

Registration is cancelled at Level 3 plagiarism, similarity above 60%, so 62% and 78% qualify.

Level 3 is the most severe band under the 2018 regulations.

Statement 1 at 37% falls in Level 1, above 10% to 40%.

Statement 2 at 46% and statement 3 at 58% lie in Level 2, above 40% to 60%.

Only the two values crossing 60% trigger cancellation of registration.

Level 2 instead debars a student from resubmission for one year.
