B1
C2 ✓ Correct
D3
Correct answer: (C) 2 — A faculty member commits level 2 plagiarism to invite this penalty, so the answer is level 2.
Explanation
★A faculty member commits level 2 plagiarism to invite this penalty, so the answer is level 2.
★The UGC Regulations 2018 grade plagiarism into levels with rising penalties.
★For level 2 plagiarism in a research publication, a faculty member may lose one annual increment.
★Level 2 involves substantial copying of someone else's work without proper attribution.
★Higher level 3 carries stricter penalties than the denial of one increment.
★So the level that invites denial of one annual increment is level 2.
