Explanation:

• India's equity market has broken into the world's top five club in terms of market capitalisation for the first time. The country's total market cap stands at $3.21trillion, which is higher than that of the UK($3.19 trillion), Saudi Arabia ($3.18trillion), and Canada($3.18 trillion). This year, India has climbed two positions, despite a 7.4 per cent drop in its market cap. At the start of the year, the UK and France ranked fifth and sixth with a market cap of $3.7 trillion and $3.5 trillion, respectively. Hence option 3rd is correct.
