1&2 only

2&3 only

1&3 only

All of the above

Explanation:

All statements are correct.

Agricultural soils contributed to over 70% of N2O emissions from India in 2010, followed by waste water (12%) and residential and commercial activities (6%). Since 2002, N2O has replaced methane as the second largest Greenhouse Gas (GHG) from Indian agriculture.
Cattle account for 80% of the ammonia production, though their annual growth rate is 1%, due to a stable population.
The poultry industry, on the other hand, with an annual growth rate of 6%, recorded an excretion of reactive nitrogen compounds of 0.415 tonnes in 2016.

Hence option 4th is correct.
