{'constituent assembly': [9, 1, 4, 11], 'formation': [2, 1, 10, 19], 'provincial elections': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'representatives': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'collective participation': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'submissions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'discussions': [0, 0, 1, 3], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71], 'princely states': [0, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer to the question is option 4, which states that the statements 1 and 4 are correct. Now let`s dissect each option to understand why the other options are incorrect.

Option 1 states that only statement 1 is correct. However, this is not true as statement 4 is also correct. The formation of the Constituent Assembly was indeed based on the provincial elections of 1946, which is mentioned in statement 1. But statement 4 is also correct as there was an effort to create a sense of collective participation by soliciting submissions from the public.

Option 2 states that statements 2 and 3 are correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect. The Constituent Assembly did include representatives of the Princely States. These representatives were nominated by the rulers of the Princely States, and they did participate in the discussions and proceedings of the Constituent Assembly. Statement 3 is also incorrect as the discussions within the Constituent Assembly were influenced by the opinions expressed by the public.

Option 3 states that statements 3 and 4 are correct. However, statement 3 is incorrect for the reasons mentioned above. Only statement 4 is correct.

In conclusion, option 4 is the correct answer as it correctly identifies
