The correct answer is "1, 2, and 3 only."

Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites are used in activities related to the assessment of crop productivity, locating groundwater resources, and mineral exploration. These satellites capture high-resolution imagery and data that can be used for various applications in agriculture, water resource management, and geological surveys.

IRS satellites provide valuable information about crop health, land use patterns, and agricultural productivity, which helps in assessing and monitoring crop conditions, planning irrigation, and optimizing agricultural practices.

They are also used to locate groundwater resources by analyzing surface features, land cover, and hydrological patterns. This information aids in identifying potential areas for groundwater extraction and sustainable water resource management.
