Option 2 : Only conclusion 1 follows

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only conclusion 3 follows.

In this type of question, a conclusion is not specifically mentioned. It needs to be deduced from the given statements.

From both the statements, we infer that the Goa Forward Party with the help of citing ‘coconut' made its proposal against ‘One Nation, One Election'. It cited the fact that in the lieu of simultaneous polls, regional issues will go unaddressed. Conclusion (I) highlights the struggle of the party against the cutting of the trees, thereby, sending a strong message against the ‘One Nation, One Election' proposal. It highlights the fact that the party struggled so much thus, shedding light on the fact that if simultaneous polls were conducted, then regional issues won't be addressed and such struggles will increase.

Conclusions (1) and (2) are more or less similar in idea but (1) is better than (2) thus, 2 can be selected as we must select the most appropriate answer choice. Moreover, Conclusion (3) is irrelevant and can be rejected as we have no information regarding the talks we just have information regarding the protest thus, it can also be eliminated.

Thus, the most correct answer choice is option 1 and the rest of the options can be rejected.
