Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 1, 2 and 3 are Correct.
All three statements accurately describe fundamental boxing principles. Offensive actions include varied punches like straight shots to the body and uppercuts to the chin. Training methods like Shadow Boxing (moving against an imaginary opponent) and Mirror Boxing (using a reflection to correct form) are essential for technique. Furthermore, boxing is strategically divided into four ranges: Long (jabs), Medium (crosses), Close (hooks), and Infighting (short-range bodywork), each requiring specific footwork and defensive maneuvers.
