Global leaders must come together to study the subject in more detail and discuss climate change and associated city planning. Correct Answer Only III follows.

Course of action I is too extreme. We need not evacuate residents of Mumbai “immediately” based on reports that the city could be submerged under the ocean by 2050. So, Course of action I does not follow.

Course of action II also is not correct because without researching the authenticity of the findings of the report, the Government must not dismiss it. So, Course of action II also does not follow.

Course of action III follows as the findings of the report are grave enough to warrant a global dialogue on climate change and associated city planning.

Hence, only III follows.

Statement: High-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO), essentially the leftovers of an oil refiner's output, will still flow from refineries around the world even after new rules start up in 2020 curtailing its use in the global shipping fleet.Sixty percent of the 33 refineries in a global survey will still produce HSFO in 2020 although the supply will tighten as 70 percent of these refiners plan to reduce their output.  Courses of action: I. Starting that year, ships will use marine fuel, which primarily consists of residual fuel oil, with a maximum sulphur content of 0.5 percent under International Maritime Organization (IMO) rules to reduce air pollution.  II. Currently, the global shipping fleet, which includes oil and chemical tankers as well as container ships, uses as much as 3.3 million barrels per day of HSFO with a maximum of 3.5 percent sulphur.  III. Refiners will have little incentive to produce HSFO after the regulations though some demand will remain as a small but growing number of vessels are fitted with smokestack scrubbers that remove the sulphur from the exhaust fumes and power plants will continue to consume the fuel.

Statement: Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Monday that the government is ready to ensure credit is available to non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), just a day after the market regulator and the central bank sought to calm skittish investors. Jaitley's assurances followed panic selling in the equity market on Friday that pushed the benchmark Nifty Index more than three percent lower in less than 30 minutes. It later recovered to end the day down 0.81 percent.  Courses of action: I. The sell-off was sparked by news that a large fund manager sold short-term bonds issued by Indian NBFC Dewan Housing Finance Corp at a sharp discount, raising fears of wider liquidity problem among NBFCs.  II. Indian equity markets have hit record highs this year despite sell-offs in domestic bonds and weakness in the rupee that has made it Asia's worst-performing currency this year.  III.

Statement: Reliance Jio Infocomm, the most recent entrant in India’s telecom service sector, may be more adversely affected by the Supreme Court order curbing the use of Aadhaar than older rivals Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel. The apex court order disallowing telcos from using the faster Aadhaar-based verification system could slow the pace of subscriber additions significantly, potentially delaying the company’s plan to acquire a 50% revenue market share. The Mukesh Ambani-owned telco has been adding many more subscribers every month than its rivals.  Courses of action: I. Jio’s gross customer additions could decline in the coming months as the verification process will henceforth be a more cumbersome affair, which could also be a turn-off for potential new users who’ve been lately used to instant connectivity under the Aadhaar-based enrolment mechanism.  II. Customer verification expenses will increase in step with the volume of customer acquisition of telcos and so, stronger the monthly user additions, higher the associated verification costs.  III. The more tedious verification process henceforth is also likely to slow down the processing of porting requests from customers.
