Option 1 : 1 only

The correct answer is option 1 i.e 1 only

It is published by the Forest Survey of India under the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. India State of Forest Report is released every two years. Hence statement 1 is correct.
The total forest cover of the country is 7,12,249 sq km which is 21.67% of the geographical area of the country.
Forest Cover (Area-wise): Madhya Pradesh > Arunachal Pradesh > Chhattisgarh > Odisha > Maharashtra. Hence statement 2 is wrong.
Forest Cover (Percentage): Mizoram (85.4%) > Arunachal Pradesh (79.63%) > Meghalaya (76.33%)
