Explanation
The Second Administrative Reforms Commission (ARC), established in 2005 under the chairmanship of Veerappa Moily, was tasked with revamping the public administration system [4]. The Commission produced a total of fifteen reports covering various facets of governance. Specifically, 'Ethics in Governance' was the 4th report [3]. 'Local Governance' was the 6th report, focusing on an inspiring journey into the future for local bodies [3]. 'Combating Terrorism' was the 8th report, which addressed protecting the nation against extremist threats [3]. While the Commission extensively discussed the eradication of corruption within the 'Ethics in Governance' report, there was no separate report titled 'Eradication of Corruption' [3]. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct as they represent specific report titles, whereas statement 4 is a thematic component of the fourth report rather than a standalone report title.
