Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: 1 and 3

Here's a breakdown of why:

Proper installation of electrical wires, various irrigation facilities, etc.: This is a core component of infrastructure development. It ensures essential services and facilities are available to support economic activities.

Credit marketing and financial assistance: While these are important for economic development, they are not typically considered part of infrastructure development itself. 

Infrastructural development promotes agricultural research and extension: Improved infrastructure, such as better roads, transportation, and communication facilities, can facilitate the dissemination of agricultural knowledge and research, leading to better farming practices and increased productivity.
