List T List IT List III List IV

The correct answer is Option 3 (4 E IV iv). This match aligns key environmental concepts with their specific legal frameworks and definitions under Indian law.

• 4 matches IV: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) was established under the NGT Act, 2010, specifically to handle cases related to environmental protection and conservation of forests.
• E matches iv: Sustainable Development is a core principle often interpreted through judicial activism and the "Precautionary Principle." It ensures that development meets present needs without compromising future generations, a mandate central to the NGT's adjudications.
• I and F: These relate to specific environmental standards or categories (like Eco-sensitive zones or pollutants) which do not align with the structural pairing of NGT and Sustainable Development as accurately as Option 3.

Option 3 is correct because it logically links the judicial body (NGT) with its governing philosophy (Sustainable Development) and the legal framework (Act IV). Other options fail to maintain this legal and conceptual consistency across the four lists.
