With reference to the RAIN (Regional Analysis of Indian OceaN), consider the following statements: 1. It is a data assimilation system. 2. It has been developed by the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services. 3. It integrates Regional Ocean Modeling System with the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter. How many of the statements given above are correct?
A: Only one
B: Only two
C: All three
D: None
Answer: C
