Multi-Stage Memetic Binary Tree Anomaly Identifier (MSMBTAI)
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, Indian Astronomers, utilising an Artificial Intelligence-based algorithm, have devised a new approach for identifying potentially habitable planets.
- The AI-based method, named Multi-Stage Memetic Binary Tree Anomaly Identifier (MSMBTAI), is based on a novel multi-stage memetic algorithm (MSMA).
- The method is based on the postulate that Earth - being the only habitable planet among thousands of planets - is an anomaly, with the possibility of existence of few other anomalies among thousands of data points.

Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI)
Consider the following statements:
- Recently, Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) carried out coastal vulnerability assessment for entire Indian coast at states level to bring out an Atlas comprising 156 maps on 1:1,00,000 scales to prepare a Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI).
- It is also being planned to carry out a coastal Multi-Hazard Vulnerability Mapping (MHVM).
- Coastal vulnerability is a spatial concept that identifies people and places that are susceptible to disturbances resulting from coastal hazards such as coastal storms, sea level rise and erosion, etc.
