Explanation:

Let’s break this down:

- Order 5, Rule 26 of the CPC deals with serving summons outside India, specifically in foreign territories.

- Here’s the deal with each option:

- Option 1: If there’s a political agent (appointed by the Central Government) in that territory, the summons can be sent through them. This is straight from the rule.

- Option 2: If there’s a court established or recognized by the central government in that foreign territory, which can serve summons, that’s another valid route.

- Option 3: And if there’s a court in that territory notified by the central government for serving summons, and there's no previously mentioned court, that's also fine.

- Option 4: All of the above approaches are valid under different circumstances.

So, all three methods are spelled out in the rule, depending on what’s available in the foreign territory.
