Explanation:

All the statements are incorrect.

Recently, Russia pulled out of the Open Skies Treaty (OST) citing earlier withdrawal of the USA from the treaty. This move was made after the USA pulled out of the Open Skies Treaty in November 2020, arguing that Russian violations made it untenable for the United States to remain a party.

Open Skies Treaty (OST) allows a member State to undertake surveillance on any part of the host nation, with the latter’s consent.
The Open Sky Agreements are bilateral agreements that the two countries negotiate to provide rights for airlines to offer international passenger and cargo services. Recently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has expressed interest to have an Open Sky Agreement with India.

Hence option 4th is correct.
