Option 4 : 1, 2 and 4

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e 1, 2 and 4.

European movable metal types were brought to Goa around 1550 AD by the Portuguese. Hence, Statement 1 is correct.
The latter started printing books on Christian saints, Sermons, grammars and vocabularies in the Marathi and Konkani languages and dialects, but in Roman script rather than in the Devanagari script.
Tamil Script - It is the script used to write the Tamil language in India and Sri Lanka.
- It evolved from Grantha, the Southern form of Brahmi.
- It is a syllabic language and not alphabetic.
- It is written from left to right.
- It is the first Indian script of which types were prepared. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.

Mistake Points

The English Company's first experiment with printed press was at Surat. Hence, Statement 3 is NOT correct.
In A.D. 1670s, Bhimji Parak, the chief broker of the English Company at Surat, took a keen interest in this technology.
A printer was sent to India in A.D. 1674 at Bhimji's request, along with a press at the latter's expense. Hence, Statement 4 is correct.
