1, 2 and 3
Explanation:
c) 1 and 3 only. While a proclamation of national emergency is in operation, the President can modify the constitutional distribution of revenues between the centre and the states. This means that the president can either reduce or cancel the transfer of finances from Centre to the states. So statement 2 about increasing the transfer of finances from Centre to states is incorrect.
