The correct answer is option 'D'.
Explanation:
1. Statement 1: There were 13 major committees that were formed to draft the Constitution.
This statement is incorrect. There were not 13 major committees formed to draft the Constitution. The drafting of the Constitution was primarily done by the Constituent Assembly itself. However, several smaller committees were formed to assist in the drafting process. These committees were responsible for examining specific issues and presenting their recommendations to the Constituent Assembly. Some of the important committees included the Drafting Committee, the Steering Committee, the Union Powers Committee, the Provincial Constitution Committee, etc.
2. Statement 2: N. Madhav Rau was a member of the Drafting Committee.
This statement is correct. N. Madhav Rau was a member of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly. The Drafting Committee was responsible for preparing the first draft of the Constitution based on the discussions and decisions taken by the Constituent Assembly. Babasaheb Ambedkar was the Chairman of the Drafting Committee, and N. Madhav Rau was one of the six other members of the committee.
3. Statement 3: Sarojini Naidu was the only woman to head a Committee.
This statement is incorrect. Sarojini Naidu was not the only woman to head a committee. There were other women who also held important positions in the Constituent Assembly. For example, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur served as the Health Minister in the Interim Government and also played an active role in the Constituent Assembly. Hansa Jivraj Mehta was a member of the Advisory Committee on Fundamental Rights, Minorities, and Tribal and Excluded Areas. Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, a prominent freedom fighter and diplomat, was also a member of the Constituent Assembly. Therefore, Sarojini Naidu was not the only woman to head a committee.
In conclusion, statement 1 is incorrect as there were not 13 major committees formed to draft the Constitution. Statement 2 is correct as N. Madhav Rau was a member of the Drafting Committee. Statement 3 is incorrect as Sarojini Naidu was not the only woman to head a committee. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.
