The correct answer is option (2) : 17

India is one of the ten most industrialised nations of the world. But this status has brought with it unwanted and unanticipated consequences such as unplanned urbanisation, pollution and the risk of accidents. The CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board ) has identified seventeen categories of industries (large and medium scale ) as significantly polluting.
