Explanation:

"It functioned as a Central Legislature and Provisional Parliament after independence."

This is correct. After India's independence in August 1947, the Constituent Assembly continued to function as a provisional Parliament until the formation of a new Parliament after the first general elections in 1951-1952.

"It was a bicameral body as per the provisions of the Government of India Act 1935."

This is incorrect. The Constituent Assembly was not a bicameral body. It was a single-chambered (unicameral) body formed to draft the Constitution of India, not structured as per the Government of India Act 1935.

Therefore, the correct option is:

1 only.
