The correct answer is Option C (Only (c)).

Key Points:
• The Indian telecommunications sector underwent massive restructuring following reforms to expand connectivity and digital infrastructure nationwide.
• Statement (a) is correct because the New Telecom Policy (NTP) 1999 replaced the 1994 policy, introducing private participation, revenue sharing, and wide-ranging liberalization.
• Statement (b) is correct as BSNL and MTNL introduced 'The India Plan' in March 2006 to simplify trunk dialing and lower nationwide communication tariffs.
• Statement (c) is factually incorrect because BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) was formally incorporated and established on October 1, 2000 (not October 2001), taking over the operations of the Department of Telecom Services (DTS).
• Since only statement (c) is false among the given choices, option (3) is the correct answer key match.
• Key Takeaway: BSNL was established in October 2000, making statement (c) incorrect.
