Explanation
Brazil had won the World Cup four times (1958, 1962, 1970, 1994) before the 2002 edition — statement 1 is correct. 'Indomitable Lions' is the nickname of Cameroon's team — statement 2 is correct. 'Azzurri' (the Blues) is the nickname of Italy's team — statement 3 is correct. But 2002's debutants also included China alongside Senegal, Slovenia and Ecuador — statement 4 is wrong. Hence 1, 2 and 3 are correct — (A).
