Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (D) and (E) only

Let's break down each statement:

(A) Stocks are defined over a period of time. - This statement is incorrect. Stocks are quantities measured at a specific point in time.

(B) Flows are defined over a period of time. - This statement is correct. Flows represent quantities that occur over a period of time, like income or expenditure.

(C) Flows are defined at a particular point of time. - This statement is incorrect. Flows occur over a period of time.

(D) Stocks are defined at a particular point of time. - This statement is correct. Stocks represent quantities measured at a specific point in time, like inventory levels or wealth.

(E) GVA at factor costs + Indirect Taxes = Subsidies + GVA at market prices. - This statement is correct.

Thus, GVA at factor costs + Indirect Taxes - Subsidies = GVA at market prices.
