- The Bintang Adipurna is Indonesia's highest civilian honour, and the Indian Prime Minister became the first Indian Prime Minister to receive it.
- Indonesia placed the first-ever export order for India's indigenously developed Astra air-to-air missile system, to equip its Su-30 fleet.

- The Astra Mk2 missile has received the Acceptance of Necessity from the Defence Acquisition Council.
- India and Indonesia elevated their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2018, anchored by a Shared Vision on Maritime Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific.
Statements 2, 4 and 5 are correct — three in total. Statement 1 is wrong because the PM became only the second recipient of the Bintang Adipurna after Jawaharlal Nehru, not the first. Statement 3 is wrong because Sabang Port lies at the northern tip of Sumatra overlooking the Strait of Malacca, not the southern tip / Sunda Strait. The Astra export order for Indonesia's Su-30 fleet, the Astra Mk2's Acceptance of Necessity from the Defence Acquisition Council, and the 2018 Comprehensive Strategic Partnership are all accurate.

- K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India recognises privacy as a Fundamental Right under Article 21
- European Court of Justice ruling in the Mario Costeja González case

The correct sequence is Costeja González (2014) → Puttaswamy (2017) → Digital Personal Data Protection Act (2023) → Delhi High Court ruling (2026). Option B wrongly places the 2023 DPDP Act before the 2017 Puttaswamy judgment, while options C and D both flip the two most recent events by placing the 2026 Delhi HC ruling ahead of the 2023 DPDP Act.
