Explanation:

2 only

Statement 1 is incorrect. El Niño is actually a warm ocean current that appears off the coast of Peru and extends into the central and eastern Pacific Ocean.

Statement 2 is correct. La Niña is often considered the opposite phase of El Niño. While El Niño involves warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, La Niña involves cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the same region.

Statement 3 is incorrect. El Niño typically weakens the Indian Monsoon rather than strengthening it. It can lead to drier conditions in some parts of India and disrupt normal monsoon patterns.

Therefore, the correct option is 2. 2 only.
