Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

India is a founding member of the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA), originally established in 1997 as the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) [t2][t3]. The organization was founded at the initiative of India and South Africa to foster economic and social cooperation among littoral states [t5][t6]. India remains an active member state [t7]. Conversely, India is not a member of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [c1]. While India participates in the OECD Development Centre and became an associate country of the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2017, full OECD membership is restricted to 37 primarily high-income economies [c1][c2]. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct regarding India's membership status in these international organizations.
