Explanation
Under Article 176, a 'special address' by the Governor refers to the address delivered at the commencement of the first session after each general election and at the commencement of the first session of each year. It is not linked to President's Rule, a national emergency or the Governor's discretionary powers. The correct code is 1 and 3 only.
