Explanation:

Recent context: European nations participated in Second North Sea Summit in Ostend, Belgium. North Sea Summit aims at making the North Sea the largest powerhouse of Europe by 2050 by taking its offshore wind capacity to 120 GW by 2030 and 300 GW by 2050. • 7 European Union (EU) countries (Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands), and 2 Non-EU countries Norway and United Kingdom participated in this second summit. • At the end of first summit in Denmark in 2022, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and Netherlands signed the Esbjerg Declaration. o Esbjerg Declaration aimed at making the North Sea into the “Green Power Plant of Europe”, an offshore renewable energy system. o Declaration set the targets for offshore wind energy capacity of 150 GW by 2030 and 20 GW green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. • Wind energy in India o India stands 4th globally in wind power capacity as per REN21 Renewables 2022 Global Status Report. o As of February 2023, India’s total installed wind power capacity is approximately 42 GW. • Hence option (a) is the correct answer.
