keywords: 

{'national food security mission': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'agricultural costs': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'minimum support prices': [0, 0, 3, 0], 'crops': [6, 1, 6, 7], 'union ministry': [1, 0, 9, 11], 'commission': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'food': [18, 3, 8, 24], 'prices': [0, 5, 4, 14]}

Option 1 states that the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices recommends the Minimum Support Prices for 32 crops. This statement is incorrect because the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices actually recommends the Minimum Support Prices for 23 crops, not 32 crops.

Option 2 states that the Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has launched the National Food Security Mission. This is incorrect because the National Food Security Mission was launched by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers` Welfare, not the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.

Therefore, option 4 is correct as neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
