Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2 only

• The islands have many hills and streams - This statement is incorrect. Lakshadweep islands are coral islands that are generally flat and low-lying. They don't have hills or freshwater streams as they are coral formations.

• Coconut is the primary crop - This statement is correct. Coconut is indeed the main crop of Lakshadweep, and plays a significant role in the islands' economy and local lifestyle.

• The islands are located a distance of 2000 km from the mainland - This statement is incorrect. Lakshadweep islands are actually located about 109 km off the southwestern coast of India (Kerala coast), not 2000 km away.
