The correct answer is option 3, which states that all three provisions - 1, 2, and 3 - empower the Parliament to modify or annul the operation of certain provisions of the Constitution without actually amending them.

Let`s break down each provision for better understanding:

1. Article 2: This article deals with the admission or establishment of new States. It allows the Parliament to make laws regarding the admission or establishment of new States. This means that the Parliament can modify or annul the operation of certain provisions related to the admission or establishment of new States without actually amending them.

2. Article 3: This article deals with the formation of new States. It allows the Parliament to make laws regarding the formation of new States or alteration of existing States. Similar to Article 2, the Parliament can modify or annul the operation of certain provisions related to the formation of new States without actually amending them.

3. First Schedule and Fourth Schedule: The First Schedule contains the list of States and Union Territories, while the Fourth Schedule contains details about the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of Parliament) for States and Union Territories. The Parliament can amend these schedules, which means it can modify or annul the operation of certain provisions
