Answer: B

Explanation:

RUPPs are registered under Section 29A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. They enjoy benefits such as access to electoral rolls and tax exemptions on contributions. However, merely contesting one election does not automatically elevate them to recognized state party status. Recognition as a state or national party requires meeting additional criteria, like securing a specified percentage of votes or winning a certain number of seats. Therefore, Statement 2 is incorrect.
