Explanation:

Pair 1 is not correctly matched: Karnataka Assembly has recently passed Good Samaritan and Medical Professional (Protection and Regulation during Emergency Situations) Bill, 2016. Hence, Karnataka became the first state to give legal protection to good samaritans through a legislation amidst the rising incidents of accidental deaths in India, which saw 1,50,785 people getting killed in road accidents in 2016.

Pair 2 is correctly matched: Sikkim has won the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) Future Policy Gold Award for its achievement in becoming the world's first totally organic agriculture state.

Pair 3 is not correctly matched : New Delhi is the first city in the country to switch from BS-IV grade fuels to BS-VI (equivalent to fuel meeting Euro-VI emission norms). The major difference in standards between the existing BS-IV and the new BS-VI auto fuel norms is the presence of sulphur. The newly introduced fuel is estimated to reduce the amount of sulphur released by 80 per cent, from 50 parts per million to 10 ppm.
