  3. Strengthened geopolitical influence in the region.
  4. Reduced environmental responsibility due to melting ice.

Answer:

The correct answer is “Reduced environmental responsibility due to melting ice.”.

India's engagement in the Arctic should ideally lead to increased, not reduced, environmental responsibility. Melting ice necessitates more, not less, diligence.
