Given statement: One of the prime ministers of India said, "Wastage of anything is crime. Wastage of food is also crime."

Conclusions: 

I. The issue of food wastage is of high importance to fight hunger, raise income and improve food security in India. → Follow

In India, food wastage has a direct impact on hunger and food security. By calling food wastage is crime, it suggests that addressing it is very important to deal with these issues.

II. Food wastage is morally wrong because there are many people who are hungry simply because they have no food → Follow

The statement says food wastage is a "crime", and calling it a crime typically involves moral condemnation. It also implies moral wrongdoing when people are hungry and food is wasted.  

Thus, Both I & II follow.

Hence, "Option 3" is the correct answer.
