Correct Answer: Option A — Only I is correct
Analysis of Statement I
Statement I is correct. In 2024, Srinagar was officially recognized as a ‘World Craft City’ by the World Craft Council. This recognition highlights the city's centuries-old traditions in crafts like Pashmina weaving, Papier-mâché, wood carving, and carpet weaving. It is indeed the fourth Indian city to receive this prestigious title.

Analysis of Statement II
Statement II is incorrect. While it correctly identifies some cities, the list of the other three Indian World Craft Cities is as follows:

Jaipur (Rajasthan)

Mamallapuram (Tamil Nadu) — Note: The prompt mentions Malappuram (Kerala), which is incorrect.

Mysuru (Karnataka) — Note: The prompt mentions Hyderabad, which is a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy but not a WCC World Craft City.
Answer verified by Quintessence Classes faculty — Karan Nagar, Srinagar.
