Explanation:

Neither 1 nor 2

The commission is constituted by the special collegium headed by the Prime Minister.

This statement is incorrect. The Delimitation Commission is not constituted by a special collegium headed by the Prime Minister. Instead, it is constituted by the President of India.

It is appointed for the purpose of drawing up administrative boundaries.

This statement is incorrect. The Delimitation Commission is primarily responsible for delimiting or redrawing the boundaries of parliamentary and assembly constituencies based on the population census. It deals with electoral boundaries, not administrative boundaries.

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