Explanation:

Neither 1 nor 2

The first statement is incorrect. The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) is not published by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP). It is actually published biennially by Yale University and the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) in collaboration with the World Economic Forum and other organizations.

The second statement is also incorrect. India has not been consistently ranked as one of the worst five countries on the Environmental Performance Index. Its ranking varies from year to year based on various environmental indicators.
