Option 3: 1 and 3 only
Detailed Solution
Explanation:
- A Geographical Indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place.
- Banaras Brocades and Sarees was given a GI tag from Uttar Pradesh while Tirupathu Laddu was given a GI tag from Andhra Pradesh. So, points 1 and 3 are correct.
- Rajasthani Dal-Bati Churma has not been granted a GI Tag. So, point 2 is not correct.
Therefore, option (3) is the correct answer.
