  3. C.Both 1 and 2
  4. D.Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

National Youth Day in India is celebrated on 12th January every year, not 12th March, so statement 1 is incorrect. It is observed to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, who was born on 12th January 1863. The Government of India declared this day as National Youth Day in 1984 to inspire the youth of India with the ideals and teachings of Swami Vivekananda. Therefore only statement 2 is correct.
