The correct answer is option 1, which states that only statement 1 is correct.

Statement 1 states that India is a permanent member of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This is correct. India became a member of the IAEA in 1957 and is one of the 35 member states that make up the Board of Governors. As a permanent member, India has certain privileges and responsibilities within the IAEA.

Statement 2, on the other hand, states that India voted against the resolution of the IAEA`s Board of Governors on the issue of Iran`s nuclear program in September 2005. This statement is incorrect. In reality, India abstained from voting on this resolution. The resolution, which called for Iran to suspend its enrichment-related activities, was adopted by a majority of the Board of Governors, with India choosing not to take a position on it.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, as only statement 1 is correct.
