Explanation:

1, 2 and 4 correct answer
First and second statements are correct. Amir khusrau seized the opportunity to study the deccani music of the Karnataka school, which preserved the musical tradition of ancient India with the greatest purity. Among the deccani migrants, the most prominent was naik gopal.
Third statement is incorrect. The famous Sufi poet, Amir Khusrau was the author of the poem Ghurrat-ul-Kamaal (the Prime of Perfection). But he does not allpaud his invention of sitar in it.
Fourth statement is also correct. Amir Khusro is credited with having invented about nineteen melodic forms, which include khyal, tarana and qawl. In khayal, a musician is able to express himself easily as it uses rhythms or talas that can be varied a great deal. Qawl on the other hand is closer to the Sufi qawaali.
