Correct Answer:

3

Explanation:

The only incorrect statement among the ones provided is: (3) Manmohan Singh was the leader of the National Democratic Alliance.

This is incorrect because Manmohan Singh is a member of the Indian National Congress and was the Prime Minister of India under the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, not the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The NDA is a coalition that was led primarily by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
