Based on the provided statements, Statement 2 is correct, and Statement 1 is incorrect. However, the options refer to statements 3 and 4, which are not present in the question. Assuming Option D (“2 and 3 only”) is the intended answer structure implying Statement 2 is correct and Statement 1 is incorrect, and a hypothetical Statement 3 was also intended to be correct, we select D.

Statement 1: It is observed on 28th February. This is incorrect. The National Sports Day is observed on 29th August.
Statement 2: It coincides with the birth anniversary of Major Dhyan Chand. This is correct. August 29th is the birth anniversary of the legendary Indian field hockey player, Major Dhyan Chand.

The question is fundamentally flawed as the options refer to statements 3 and 4 which are not provided. Assuming there was a typo in the options or statements and trying to interpret the most likely intent, Statement 2 is definitively correct based on facts about National Sports Day. Statement 1 is definitively incorrect. Since option D includes Statement 2 and has a plausible structure (“X and Y only”), it is the most likely intended answer among the incorrect options, assuming a missing Statement 3 was also meant to be correct. However, without the actual statements 3 and 4, a certain answer cannot be determined. We proceed with D under the assumption of a question/option error where D represents the correct combination including statement 2.
