The correct answer is option 2: 1 and 2 only.

Statement 1 is correct. The National Wildlife Action Plan (NWAP) of India for 2017-2031 is indeed the third National Wildlife Action Plan, following the first one from 1983-2001 and the second one from 2002-2016.

Statement 2 is also correct. The NWAP is unique because it is the first time India has recognized the concerns relating to climate change impact on wildlife. This shows that the plan acknowledges the importance of addressing climate change in order to protect and conserve wildlife.

Statement 3 is incorrect. The NWAP does not have ten components. Instead, it consists of 17 broad-based themes which cover a wide range of issues related to wildlife conservation, including habitat management, species recovery, community participation, research and monitoring, and strengthening enforcement. Each theme contains a set of objectives and actions to be implemented.

In summary, the correct statements are that the NWAP of India for 2017-2031 is the third National Wildlife Action Plan and it is the first time India has recognized the concerns relating to climate change impact on wildlife.
