The correct answer is option 4: 1, 3, and 4.

Let`s analyze each statement one by one to understand why options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect:

1. The President tenders his resignation to the Chief Justice of India: This statement is incorrect. According to the Indian Constitution, the President of India does not tender his resignation to the Chief Justice of India. The President can only resign by writing to the Vice-President of India.

2. The Vice-President tenders his resignation to the President of India: This statement is not mentioned in the question, so we cannot consider it as a correct or incorrect statement. However, it is not relevant to the question as it doesn`t refer to any incorrect statements.

The President can be impeached by Parliament, whereas the CAG can be removed only through an impeachment process by both houses of Parliament.

4. A Judge of the Supreme Court can resign his office by writing under his hand addressed to
