I apologize for the incorrect answer earlier. The correct answer to the question is (3) only Smallpox has been eradicated in India. Smallpox was officially declared eradicated in India in 1977, thanks to a massive vaccination campaign led by the Indian government with support from the World Health Organization.
Diphtheria and chickenpox are still prevalent in India, but efforts are being made to control and prevent these diseases through vaccination programs and public health initiatives.
