Explanation

Agni-IV is indeed a surface-to-surface missile. It is designed to launch from land-based mobile platforms and strike targets on the ground. Thus, statement 1 is correct.

Agni-IV is a two-stage, solid-fueled missile. It does not rely on liquid propellants. Thus, statement 2 is incorrect.

The reported range of Agni-IV is around 4,000 km, not 7,500 km. Additionally, its payload capacity is estimated to be around 1,000 kg (one tonne), but its specific warhead capabilities are not publicly disclosed. Thus, statement 3 is also incorrect.
