The correct answer is B, which states that only statement 2 is correct.

Smart India Hackathon 2017 was an initiative by the Indian government to promote innovation and find digital solutions to problems faced by various ministries, government departments, industries, and organizations. It was a platform for students to propose and develop technological solutions.

Statement 1 describes the Smart Cities Mission, which is a different urban development program, not the hackathon. Statement 3 refers to initiatives for digital financial transactions, which is also distinct from the broad problem-solving focus of the hackathon. The hackathon aimed to harness the creativity and technical skills of students to build digital products addressing various challenges across sectors.
