B1, 4, 5 only ✓ Correct

C2, 3, 5 only

D3, 4, 5 only

Correct answer: (B) 1, 4, 5 only

Explanation

The International Solar Alliance has more than a hundred member countries, seeks the efficient use of solar energy, and is a joint initiative of India and France.

Statement 1 holds because the alliance has grown past one hundred member countries.

Statement 4 holds because its primary aim is the efficient and expanded use of solar energy.

Statement 5 holds because India and France launched it together at the Paris climate conference.

Statement 2 fails because its headquarters is in India, not Geneva.

Statement 3 fails because its focus lies on sunshine-rich countries between the two tropics, not merely between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer.
