The problem with the physics question in the NEET-UG paper

Supreme Court asks IIT Delhi to review NEET-UG physics question for potential dual correct answers.
The Supreme Court has asked IIT Delhi to put together a team of three experts to check whether a physics question in the 2024 NEET-UG paper could have two possible correct answers. The check comes on the back of a challenge from some students who gave the exam, alleging that the list of top-ranked students could change depending on how the students were marked on this question.
The question is in the form of two statements followed by four options. The student is required to pick one option from the four, with the assumption that only one of the four options is correct. The question is as follows:
1. Atoms are electrically neutral as they contain equal numbers of positive and negative charges.
2. Atoms of each element are stable and emit their characteristic spectrum.
The options are:
(i) 1 is correct and 2 is incorrect
(ii) 1 is incorrect and 2 is correct
