IAS

stats: 

0,7,23,7,2,16,5

keywords: 

{'cryogenic stage': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'only country': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'russia': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'china': [1, 0, 1, 2], 'usa': [12, 5, 29, 27], 'capability': [0, 1, 3, 0]}

Option 1 states that India successfully tested a full-fledged cryogenic stage in rocketry in the year 2006. This statement is correct which makes option 1 the right choice.

Option 2, on the other hand, claims that after the USA, Russia, and China, India is the only country to have acquired the capability for the use of the cryogenic stage in rocketry. This is incorrect as other countries like Japan and European nations too have this capability. This makes option 2, option 3 (which implies both statements are correct), and option 4 (which implies both statements are incorrect) wrong.

So, the answer is option 1 i.e., `1 only`.
