Explanation:

Neither 1 nor 2

Statement 1 is incorrect. State governments do not get dissolved or suspended immediately after the proclamation of a National Emergency. Instead, during a National Emergency, the President's rule can be imposed in a state under Article 356 if the President deems it necessary due to failure of constitutional machinery.

Statement 2 is also incorrect. During a National Emergency, the Central Government gains broader powers, including the ability to give executive directions to states on a wide range of matters, not just financial ones. These directions can encompass various aspects to ensure the proper functioning of the nation during the emergency.

Therefore, the correct option is 4. Neither 1 nor 2.
