Explanation

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG), established under the Coast Guard Act of 1978, is mandated with several critical maritime responsibilities. According to the Act and official records, its primary duties include the preservation and protection of the marine environment, which involves preventing and controlling marine pollution [1]. Additionally, the ICG is responsible for ensuring the safety and protection of artificial islands, offshore terminals, installations, and other structures within India's maritime zones [2]. Furthermore, the ICG plays a vital role in assisting the Department of Customs and other relevant authorities in anti-smuggling operations [1]. These functions are part of its broader mission to protect India's national interests in the maritime zones, including the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Since all three statements accurately reflect the statutory duties and operational functions of the Indian Coast Guard, the correct option is 4.
