Explanation:

This law is unique in many ways. Most Indian laws do not apply to Jammu and Kashmir. But the OSA extends to the whole of India and applies also to government servants and Indian citizens outside India. It prescribes maximum 14-year imprisonment for acts prejudicial to the safety or interests of the state. Even being in the vicinity of a prohibited place can attract the OSA.Hence only 2nd option is correct.
