  2. BA State Government may amend the standards freely without any approval
  3. CA State Government may never amend the standards

Explanation

Section 18(4) allows the State Government, with prior approval of the Central Government, to amend the standards for establishments for which it is the appropriate Government. The 45-day notice relates to the Central Government amending the Second Schedule, so the last option confuses the two.
