Explanation:

H-1B Visa is a non-immigrant visa provided only to the skilled workers to be employed in any specialty occupation in the US. India is the largest recipient of the H-1B visa in the world. The Visa is issued generally for a period of 3 years and expandable up to 6 years in normal circumstances. However, if the occupation is proved of such character that essentially requires a stay beyond 6 years, the visa can be expanded beyond the period of 6 years as well. Hence, only the 1st and 3rd statements are incorrect and answer is (c).
