Explanation:

- Option 1: Confessions made to customs officers are not admissible under Section 25 of the Evidence Act. Section 25 states that confessions made to police officers are inadmissible, and customs officers are considered to have similar authority in this context.

- Option 2: Confessions made to a member of the Railway Protection Force are also not admissible. They are considered law enforcement officers, paralleling the role of police officers.
