• SAI, or stratospheric aerosol intervention, is a proposed geoengineering method aimed at reducing global warming by introducing aerosols into the stratosphere, creating a cooling effect similar to volcanic eruptions.Hence statement 1 is correct
• SAI indeed involves introducing aerosols into the stratosphere to modify the Earth's radiative balance.Hence statement 2 is correct

• The study on SAI highlighted in the question reveals that SAI could have unintended consequences for the environment, including impacts on the ozone layer, disruption of the hydrological cycle, effects on monsoon systems, and potential implications for crop yields.Hence statement 3 is correct

The Tharsis region is home to four of the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, including Olympus Mons, the tallest mountain in the Solar System. The volcanic activity in the Tharsis region is thought to have caused the crust in the Noctis Labyrinthus region to stretch and thin, leading to the formation of faults.Hence statement 1 is incorrect

• Noctis Labyrinthus is a system of interconnected canyons on Mars. It is located in the Phoenicis Lacus quadrangle, between Valles Marineris and the Tharsis upland. The region is renowned for its intricate network of deep valleys with steep walls, giving it a maze-like appearance.Hence statement 2 is correct
