Amazon Pledges $35 Billion Investment in India's Digital and Infrastructure Growth

सही उत्तर: D

Statement 1 is directly from the news summary, stating Amazon's investment targets digital infrastructure (cloud services like AWS) and e-commerce operations. Statement 2 is correct; 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route for the e-commerce marketplace model, subject to certain conditions. Statement 3 accurately describes the core objective of the 'Digital India' initiative, launched in 2015. Therefore, all three statements are correct.

सही उत्तर: B

Statement 1 is the fundamental definition of cloud computing, where data and applications are hosted on remote servers and accessed over the internet. Statement 3 is correct; the National Digital Communications Policy 2018 (NDCP 2018) indeed highlights data sovereignty, security, and protection as key objectives. Statement 2 is incorrect. While India has strong recommendations and sector-specific mandates (e.g., RBI for payment data) for data localization, there is no blanket policy mandating *all* data generated by Indian users to be stored *exclusively* within India's geographical boundaries across all sectors. The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 (now withdrawn, but a new bill is expected) had proposed some data localization requirements, but a universal mandate is not currently in force.

सही उत्तर: D

Statement D is NOT correct. Any entity, foreign or domestic, operating within India's jurisdiction and collecting/processing data of Indian users, is subject to Indian laws, including data protection regulations (such as the upcoming Digital Personal Data Protection Bill). The location of primary servers does not grant exemption from local legal compliance. Statements A, B, and C are correct. The CCI is the primary body for competition regulation. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, has specific rules for e-commerce. Various draft e-commerce policies have indeed focused on promoting domestic industry and tackling counterfeits.
