{'national security council': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'nsc': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'planning commission': [5, 0, 9, 5], 'intelligence bureau': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'deputy chairman': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'security concerns': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'regard': [0, 0, 1, 8], 'member': [22, 5, 20, 36]}

Option 1 of the statement states that the National Security Council (NSC) of India is a three-tiered organization. This means that the NSC has three levels of authority or decision-making. There is no issue with this statement, as the NSC does indeed have a three-tiered structure.

Option 2 states that the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission is a member of the NSC. This statement is accurate as well, as the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission is indeed a member of the NSC. The Planning Commission plays a crucial role in shaping India`s overall development plans, and having its representative in the NSC helps ensure coordination between security concerns and national development.

Option 3 is the correct answer. It states that the NSC is the apex body exclusively looking at the security concerns of the country. This statement is not correct. While the NSC does focus on security concerns, it is not the only body responsible for this. There are other organizations and agencies, such as the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Home Affairs, that also play a role in addressing security concerns.

Option 4 states that RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) and Intelligence Bureau (India) report to the NSC. This statement is accurate as well. RAW and Intelligence
