    Explanation:

    - Statement I: Pulses are a vital source of protein, especially important in vegetarian diets in India.

    - Statement II: They need much less water to grow than crops like rice or sugarcane, making them suitable for dry areas.

    - Statement III: As legumes, pulses can fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil through symbiotic bacteria in their roots, so they usually don’t need synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

    - Statement IV: By fixing nitrogen, pulses actually improve soil fertility and structure, enriching it rather than depleting it.

    The correct answer is:

    Option:4, I, II, III and IV
