The correct answer is option 1 - 1, 2, 3 and 4. The Supreme Court of India has several powers and functions. Let`s analyze each option:

Option 1 states that the Supreme Court has the power of original jurisdiction in a dispute between the Government of India and one or more States. This means that the Supreme Court can directly hear and decide cases involving conflicts between the central government and state governments.

Option 2 mentions the power of the Supreme Court to hear appeals from the High Courts. This means that if a party is not satisfied with the decision of a High Court, they can approach the Supreme Court to review the case and possibly overturn the decision.

Option 3 states that the Supreme Court has the power to pass decrees and orders for doing justice in any matter before it. This means that the Supreme Court is authorized to make decisions and give orders in cases brought before it, ensuring justice is served.

Option 4 states that the Supreme Court can render advice to the President of India in matters of law. This means that the Supreme Court can provide legal advice to the President on matters that require legal interpretation.

Therefore, all the powers mentioned in options 1, 2, 3, and 4 are correct.
