The correct answer is option 4, which means all the statements given above are correct. Let`s examine each statement to understand why they are correct:

Statement 1: The President has the right to address and send messages to the Council of Ministers to elicit specific information. This means that the President can ask for clarification or more details on certain matters from the Council of Ministers. This right allows the President to stay informed and make well-informed decisions.

Statement 2: The President can call for information relating to proposals for legislation. This means that the President can request information about any proposed laws or bills. This helps the President to have a clear understanding of the government`s legislative agenda and provide valuable inputs.

Statement 3: All decisions of the Council of Ministers relating to the administration of the Union must be communicated to the President. This means that the President must be informed about all the decisions made by the Council of Ministers that pertain to the administration of the country. This ensures transparency and enables the President to be aware of the government`s actions.

In conclusion, all three statements are correct as they describe the powers and duties of the President of India.
