(i) established by the Central Government
(ii) to regulate, transfer and use of biodiversity resources at the national level
(iii) having its head office located at Mumbai
(iv) the Chairperson of the Authority shall be the retired Judge of High Court
Answer: B
The answer is only (i) and (ii) are correct.
The National Biodiversity Authority is established by the Central Government under section 8 of the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 (i), and it regulates access to and transfer and use of biological resources and associated knowledge at the national level (ii).
Statement (iii) is wrong because its head office is at Chennai, not Mumbai. Statement (iv) is wrong because the Chairperson is to be an eminent person with knowledge of the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, not necessarily a retired High Court judge.
