{'global warming': [3, 0, 1, 0], 'possible limitations': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'many developed countries': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'appropriate alternate technologies': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'industries': [6, 0, 2, 2], 'development': [11, 4, 15, 44]}

The correct answer is option-1, which includes both statements 1 and 2.

Statement 1 is correct because appropriate alternative technologies are indeed not sufficiently available in India. This includes technologies related to renewable energy, waste management, and others essential for mitigating global warming. This shortage limits India`s capability to combat climate change effectively.

Statement 2 is correct because it`s a known fact that India, being a developing country, cannot invest massive funds in research and development considering its current economic status. Huge funding is crucial for developing and implementing new technologies that can help in mitigating global warming.

Statement 3 is incorrect because it`s not necessarily true that developed countries have set up their polluting industries in India. While Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) does occur, it can`t be generalized as a major cause of pollution considering the vast domestic industrial presence in India.

Hence, the correct answer only includes the statements 1 and 2, i.e., option 1.
