The correct answer is option 3, which means that both statement 1 and statement 2 are correct.

Statement 1 states that a political party is recognized as a national party if it secures at least six percent of the total valid votes polled in four or more states in a general election to the Lok Sabha or State Legislative Assemblies. This means that in order to be recognized as a national party, a party must have a certain level of support across multiple states in a general election.

Statement 2 states that a political party is recognized as a national party if it wins at least four seats in a general election to the Lok Sabha from any state or states. This means that a party must have a minimum level of representation in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India, to be considered a national party.

Therefore, both statements are correct and the correct answer is option 3.
