Seven boxes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are placed one above the other, but not necessarily in the given order. The boxes are numbered from 1 (bottommost) to 7 (topmost). All boxes are of different colors: Red, Blue, Violet, Indigo, Green, Orange, and Yellow, not necessarily in the same order. More than three boxes are placed below the blue box. Two boxes are placed between box A and the blue box. The number of boxes placed below box A is two less than the number of boxes placed between the blue box and box A. Box G is not placed at an odd-numbered position and is placed immediately above box E. The number of boxes placed above box E is equal to the number of boxes placed below the red box. The green box is placed above box A. Box D is placed immediately below the indigo box, but box D is not colored red. Box C is placed below the violet box but not at an odd-numbered position. Which of the following boxes is colored green?

1. Box B
2. Box G
3. Box C
4. Box A
