Consider the following statements regarding the 'Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanraksan Abhiyan' (PM-AASHA) scheme: 1. It is an umbrella scheme aimed at ensuring remunerative prices to farmers for their produce, comprising three sub-schemes: Price Support Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS), and Private Procurement & Stockist Scheme (PPSS). 2. Under the Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS) component, physical procurement of crops is not undertaken; instead, the difference between the MSP and the modal market price is paid directly to registered farmers. 3. The Private Procurement & Stockist Scheme (PPSS) is applicable to all notified oilseeds and pulses across all states on a mandatory basis. Which of the statements given above are correct?

Options:

• A: 1 and 2 only
• B: 2 and 3 only
• C: 1 and 3 only
• D: 1, 2 and 3
