    Explanation:

    - The Public Distribution System (PDS) is a joint operation between the Centre and States/Union Territories. They share responsibilities to ensure food security.

    - Food Corporation of India is tasked with the procurement, storage, and transportation of food grains to States.

    - It's mainly the State/Union Territory governments that identify eligible beneficiaries for the PDS, not jointly with the Centre.

    - Some States do go an extra mile by distributing extra items such as pulses and edible oil through PDS outlets for greater reach.

    - Option 1, 2 and 4: Correct, as these statements are true.

    - Option 3, 1 and 2 only: Incorrect, due to Statement 3.

    - Option 4, 3 and 4 only: Incorrect, due to Statement 3.
