keywords: 

{'aadhar card': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'uid': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'identity number': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'citizenship card': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'biometric information': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'digit': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'unique form': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'national identity': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'identification': [0, 0, 0, 2]}

Option 1: It is a 12 digit unique form of identification for all residents of India.

This statement is correct. The UID, also known as Aadhar Card, is indeed a 12-digit unique identification number that is issued to all residents of India. It acts as a proof of identity and address.

Option 2: It is an identity number along with the biometric information of the individuals.

This statement is correct. The Aadhar Card not only contains the unique identification number, but it also includes biometric information such as fingerprints and iris scans of the individuals. This helps in establishing a robust and secure identity verification system.

Option 3: It is a national identity and citizenship card.

This statement is incorrect. The Aadhar Card is not considered a national identity and citizenship card. It is primarily used for identification purposes and to avail various government services and subsidies. It does not confer Indian citizenship.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is Option 2: 1 and 2 only.
