Option 1 states that the National Human Rights Commission of India enjoys the powers of a Civil Court. This is incorrect because the NHRC does not have the same powers as a Civil Court.

Option 2 states that the NHRC consists of eight members. This is correct, as the NHRC is composed of eight members including a Chairperson, retired Chief Justice of India, and a member who is or has been a Judge of the Supreme Court of India.

Option 3 states that the NHRC will have its own nucleus of investigating staff and can seek the assistance of Central and State investigative agencies. This is correct, as the NHRC has the power to investigate human rights violations and can seek assistance from investigative agencies.

Option 4 states that the NHRC does not need permission from the Central Government to establish offices at other places. This is incorrect, as the NHRC requires permission from the Central Government to establish offices at other places.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2: 1, 2, and 4.
