1. We never say in a report. We always say according to a report issued by xyz.
2. It should be "The Indian Statistical Institute" because here we are talking about a proper noun and also we are talking about a specific institute.
@All.
A single question may have more than one error but it is said to go for the error which you encounters first.

*should be the "the Indian Statistical Institute". Or if used without 'the', then simply "ISI".
*also, "invest in" is used when we refer to the item on which we invest. For example, "invest in property". "Invest on" is used to explain the reason for investing. For example, "invest on a hunch". Hence in this case, 'invest in' is correct.

The Iron and Steel Industry is considered singular in form, they are one entity. The Iron and at the same steel company is just one company. Thus we used the verb "is".
It's not always plural when we used "and" it can be singular or plural depends on the context or sentence structure.

The correct One always invests 'in' something, never invest 'on'.
Eg. What stocks should I invest in. Hence here the wrong option isn't option C but rather option A because we always use 'the' before the name of an institution when referring it in a sentence.

@ Sandeep Kits & Sanjiv.
Here "The Iron and Steel Industry " is being considered as a single industry, that's why "is" being used. You may be right if we use "The iron & the steel industries" are.

I agree with @Sandeep @Rakeshi.
It should be "iron and steel industries are" because we are using "and", "is" correct when we are using "iron or steel industries is".

It is not plural "the iron and steel Industry " it is one industry. If they are separate industries. Then it will be mentioned as "industries". So, no error.

Other is plural indefinite pronoun it should be followed by a plural noun.
So Option C should be "Indian industries" because option B says; Any other.

And yes it should be the Indian Statistical Institute.
