Explanation

The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) Star Label is a voluntary labeling scheme that helps consumers identify energy-efficient products. Statement 1 is correct—ceiling fans carry the BEE Star Label indicating their energy efficiency rating. Statement 2 is correct—electric geysers (water heaters) have BEE Star Labels to help consumers choose efficient models. Statement 3 is incorrect—tubular fluorescent lamps do not carry the BEE Star Label; the star labeling scheme primarily applies to appliances and equipment with variable energy consumption patterns, not to standardized light fittings. > The BEE Star Label identifies energy-efficient appliances like fans and geysers but not all electrical products. Answer: (a).
