In how many of the above rows is the information correctly matched?
A.Only one
B.Only two✓ Correct
C.All the three
D.None
Explanation
The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) enforces the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018, but it functions under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance, not Internal Security Division of MHA. Hence row I is incorrectly matched. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) does enforce the Customs Act, 1962 and works under the Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance — row II is correct. The Directorate General of Systems and Data Management is under CBDT/Department of Revenue and uses big data analytics — row III is correct. Therefore, only two rows are correctly matched.
