Answer: (3) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
Statement 1 is true: Chamba, Kullu, and Kinnaur are geologically fragile districts with high susceptibility to landslides due to steep terrain, intense rainfall, and tectonic activity. Statement 2 is true: The districts of Una, Bilaspur, Sirmaur, Shimla (lower areas) and Solan are in comparatively lower risk zones for natural disasters. Statement 3 is true: The Hum (Hamirpur) valley in Una district is known for scarcity of natural drinking water sources, making it dependent on artificial supply. Statement 4 is false: As per the Central Water Board study, Kala Amb valley in Sirmaur district has OVER-exploited underground water — not exploited the least. Hence statements 1, 2 and 3 are true.
