Explanation:

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The CRZ 2019 rules are designed to promote sustainable development in coastal regions while considering environmental risks like climate change, rising sea levels, and natural hazards such as tsunamis and floods. The CRZ 2019 rules allow for the establishment of pollution treatment facilities in certain areas (such as CRZ-I B) to address pollution in coastal zones, with necessary safeguards.
Statement 3 is incorrect. The CRZ 2019 rules reduced the No Development Zone (NDZ) boundary in certain areas. For example, in densely populated rural areas (CRZ-III A), the NDZ was reduced from 200 meters to 50 meters from the High Tide Line (HTL). Additionally, for islands and backwater regions, a smaller NDZ of 20 meters was introduced due to space limitations.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
