keywords: 

{'india sanitation coalition': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'national institute': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'sustainable sanitation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'government': [5, 0, 0, 1], 'urban india': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'urban affairs': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'world health organization': [0, 0, 1, 6], 'innovative solutions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'housing': [0, 3, 1, 9], 'ministry': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is 4 - "Neither 1 nor 2". Let`s dissect each of the provided options to explain why:

Option 1 - The first statement is not correct because the India Sanitation Coalition is not funded by the Government of India and the World Health Organization. It is a partnership of organizations from various sectors (non-profit, for-profit, and the government), leveraging each other’s strengths and networks to collaboratively work towards promoting sustainable sanitation in India.

Option 2 - The second statement is also inaccurate. Though the National Institute of Urban Affairs is associated with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs in the Government of India and works on urban issues, it is not the apex body of the ministry.

Therefore, options 1, 2, and 3 aren`t correct. Consequently, option 4, "Neither 1 nor 2", is the right answer since none of the statements given are correct.
