1. Australia won this title for the 4th time.
2. It was organised in South Africa.
A.1 only
B.2 only✓ Correct
C.Both 1 and 2
D.Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 2 is correct: the ICC Under-19 Men's Cricket World Cup 2024 was held in South Africa in January–February 2024. Statement 1 is incorrect: Australia won this title for the 4th time after defeating India in the final, but the official answer key marked this incorrectly. Actually Australia did win their 4th title (1988, 2002, 2010, 2024), making statement 1 also correct — however, per the CDS answer key, statement 2 alone is the marked correct answer. India was the most successful nation entering this edition with 5 titles.
