    Explanation:

    Both statements are correct. 

    • The State Cabinet of Arunachal Pradesh recently approved the large, brightly coloured Kaiser-i-Hind as the State butterfly.  
    • Kaiser-i-Hind (Teinopalpus imperialis) literally means Emperor of India. This butterfly with a 90-120 mm wingspan is found in six States along the Eastern Himalayas at elevations from 6,000-10,000 feet in well-wooded terrain. 
    • The butterfly also flutters in Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and southern China. 

    Hence option 3rd is correct.
