Explanation:

Statement 2: India has completed its nuclear
triad by inducting the indigenously built strategic nuclear submarine INS Arihant into service.
The UK, USA, France, Russia and China already have nuclear armed submarines and thus a nuclear triad. So, 2 is wrong.
Statement 3: There is no such requirement. MTCR
membership requires consent from members, which is why
India’s membership proposal sailed through.
A nuclear triad enhances India’s nuclear deterrence capabilities
that have become essential due to a provocative and
aggressive neighbourhood (China and Pakistan).
