Hi @priyankagupta20 

I assume you are referring to Experience Platform sandboxes?

1) sandboxes are different setups in the experience platform in which you set up your connected datastreams, getting data in and out. to this datastream you can for instance connect your adobe anayltics or target instance
Note though: if you do not have the Real Time CDP, you will only have one sandbox

2) there is no dedicated "analytics sandbox". you can set up a datastream to forward information to Adobe Analytics

3) same here, there is no "target sandbox".

as you can see, 2+3 are basically covered in 1

An Adobe Sandbox account is a separate environment within an Adobe product or service. A Sandbox account in Adobe refers to a test environment that allows developers, analysts, and marketers to experiment with Adobe products and features without impacting live data or production environments. This kind of account is crucial for testing new implementations, integrations, and configurations safely. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/sandbox/home

Availability: Varies depending on the product. Generally available for enterprise-level accounts.

Obtaining access: To use a sandbox belonging to your organization, you must be granted access to that sandbox by an administrator. This is done through the Permissions tab in Platform, which is only available to system admins or product level admins for Experience Platform. Within this tab, administrators can create roles that grant access to specific feature permissions in Platform along with one or multiple sandboxes. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/platform-learn/tutorials/admin/use-sandboxes
