Option C — C

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Option C.

Key Points

  • INTERPOL issues colour-coded notices for international police cooperation. Matching each:
  • A. Silver Notice → 4 (to identify and trace criminal assets). This is INTERPOL's newest notice, piloted in January 2025, used to locate laundered assets and proceeds of crime across borders.
  • B. Blue Notice → 2 (to collect additional information about a person's identity, location or activities in a criminal investigation).
  • C. Black Notice → 1 (to seek information on unidentified bodies).
  • D. Green Notice → 3 (to provide warning about a person's criminal activities where they are a possible threat to public safety).
  • Giving A-4, B-2, C-1, D-3.
  • the most-tested notice is the Red Notice (to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition) — not in this list, but a favourite distractor.
  • India routes INTERPOL cooperation through the CBI, which is the National Central Bureau.

Exam Tip

  • fix the two 'body/asset' notices first — Black = bodies, Silver = assets — and the rest fall into place.
