Correct Answer :

Option B

Only two

Solution :

The correct option is Only two.

Let us analyze the correctness of each row one by one to determine why exactly two rows are correctly matched:


Row I: Directorate of Enforcement (ED)
- Functions: The Directorate of Enforcement is indeed responsible for enforcing the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018 (FEOA), along with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) and the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA).
- Ministry/Department: The Directorate of Enforcement operates under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, not the Internal Security Division-I of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Therefore, Row I is incorrectly matched.


Row II: Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI)
- Functions: The DRI is the premier anti-smuggling agency of India and is responsible for enforcing the provisions of the Customs Act, 1962.
- Ministry/Department: It functions under the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. Therefore, Row II is correctly matched.


Row III: Directorate General of Systems and Data Management
- Functions: This directorate is tasked with utilizing advanced information technology systems, including big data analytics, to aid tax officers in policy formulation and identifying tax evaders.
- Ministry/Department: It is an attached office of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), which works under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance. Therefore, Row III is correctly matched.


Since Row II and Row III are correctly matched, while Row I is incorrect, exactly two rows contain correct information.
