Explanation:

Land settlement system (Correct - The land settlement system under British colonial rule often led to exploitative practices and did not provide sufficient incentives for agricultural improvement.)

Negligible use of fertilizers (Correct - The use of modern agricultural practices, including fertilizers, was limited during the colonial period, impacting agricultural productivity.)

Lack of irrigation facilities (Correct - Insufficient irrigation facilities hindered agricultural productivity and growth during this period.)

Constraints of cultivable land (Incorrect - The availability of cultivable land was not a constraint; rather, issues like the land settlement system, lack of irrigation, and limited use of fertilizers contributed to stagnation.)

So, the correct combination is "1, 2, and 3," which corresponds to option 1.
