Explanation:

Correct. SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research) monitors various pollutants, including Benzene, Toluene, and Xylene, in addition to the standard parameters in the Air Quality Index (AQI). This allows for a more comprehensive assessment of air quality.

Correct. SAFAR can indeed contribute to cost savings in sectors like agriculture, aviation, and tourism. Accurate weather and air quality forecasts help these sectors in planning and operations, potentially reducing expenses related to weather and pollution-related disruptions.

Incorrect. SAFAR was developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, not by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Therefore, two of the statements are correct.
