Explanation:

Neither 1 nor 2

It was first set up under the Department of Scientific Research.

This statement is incorrect. The Indian Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was not initially set up under the Department of Scientific Research. It was established through a resolution of the Government of India on August 10, 1948, and functioned directly under the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister of India is the ex-officio Chairman of the Commission.

This statement is also incorrect. The Prime Minister of India is not the ex-officio Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. The Chairman is appointed by the President of India.

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