Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct Answer: Option B

1. Statement 1: As of early 2022, the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan was the largest solar park in India in terms of installed capacity, not one in Gujarat. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect.
2. Statement 2: Cochin International Airport in Kerala achieved the distinction of being the world's first fully solar powered airport in 2015. Therefore, statement 2 is correct.
3. Statement 3: While several large floating solar photovoltaic projects were under development or operational in India (like Ramagundam in Telangana), Goa did not have the largest such project as of 2022. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect.
