Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Both II and III follow

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
When heritage or notable architecture deteriorates, the priority is conservation, not replacement. Investigation plus funding typically form the core response.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Paucity of funds cited as cause.
  • I: Create a new structure (replacement).
  • II: Diagnose reasons (funding, maintenance lapses, leakage).
  • III: Provide grants for conservation/restoration.


Concept / Approach:
II ensures accurate problem framing (is it only funds, or also governance?). III addresses the immediate need for restoration. I discards the asset and its heritage value and does not solve maintenance systems.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Conduct structural audit and maintenance/finance review.2) Allocate grants with conservation plans and accountability.3) Establish O&M funding streams and monitoring.


Verification / Alternative check:
Conservation best practices favor repair and restoration.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
I: Irrelevant to saving the existing structure. Single-option choices are incomplete.


Common Pitfalls:
Replacing instead of preserving cultural assets.


Final Answer:
Both II and III follow.
