Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct as C. Rajagopalachari was one of the three inaugural recipients of the Bharat Ratna in 1954, alongside C.V. Raman and Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan [1]. He was a prominent Indian independence activist and the last Governor-General of India [1]. Statement 2 is also correct; Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, a leader of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, initiated and propounded the concept of 'Integral Humanism' (Ekatma Manav Darshan) in the 1960s [4]. This philosophy was adopted as the official doctrine of the Jana Sangh in 1965, aiming to provide an indigenous socio-economic model centered on human development and Indian cultural values as an alternative to Western capitalism and communism [4]. Since both statements are factually accurate, the correct option is 3.
