Explanation:

Based on the Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS):

1. The nodal ministry is the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. - Correct; this ministry is responsible for the scheme.

2. Funds released under the scheme are non-lapsable. - Correct; MPLADS funds are indeed non-lapsable. This means that any unspent funds from one year are carried forward and can be used in subsequent years. The funds are not returned to the central government at the end of a fiscal year.

3. The role of the Member of Parliament is limited to recommending works. - Correct; MPs recommend projects, which are then executed by district authorities.

4. The scheme is confined to the State from which the MP is elected (Lok Sabha), but a Rajya Sabha MP can recommend works anywhere in the country. - This statement is incorrect. Lok Sabha MPs can recommend works primarily within their constituency, while Rajya Sabha MPs can recommend works within the state they were elected from.

Option 2 (1, 2 and 3 only) is the correct choice.
