✅ Correct Option: 1
For physical distance, both 'further' and 'farther' are acceptable, so (A) and (B) are correct. For abstract or figurative use meaning 'additional', only 'further' works, so (D) 'Further investigation' is correct and (C) 'Farther investigation' is wrong. Hence (A), (B) and (D) only.
