Model Answer

Option C – Only I, III and IV are correct.

Jikji contains the main beliefs of Buddhism (not Christianity), so Statement II is incorrect. Statements I, III, and IV are correct.

Explanation

The key trap here is Statement II — Jikji is a Korean Buddhist text, not a Christian one. Statements I, III, and IV align with standard textbook facts about Jikji: it is among the oldest printed books, its second volume is in the National Library of France, and it was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2001. Note: the source passages mention Tripitaka Koreana (inscribed in 2007), not Jikji directly, but Jikji's details are from the same chapter's content.
