  3. C1, 3 and 4
  4. D2, 3 and 4

Explanation

The **Constitution (71st Amendment) Act, 1992**, amended the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution to include three languages: 1. **Konkani:** Correct. 2. **Manipuri:** Correct. 3. **Nepali:** Correct. A common mnemonic for these three languages is **K-M-N** (Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali). **Maithili** was added later by the **92nd Amendment Act of 2003**, along with Bodo, Dogri, and Santhali (B-D-M-S). Therefore, Maithili was not included by the 71st Amendment. Thus, 1, 2, and 3 are correct.
