Option 2 : 1 and 2 only

On adding impurities to a superconductor, its transition temperature is decreased.

This is observed in the following plot:

TC (k): Critical temperature in kelvin on Y-axis.

x: Impurity concentration on X-axis.

Hence, Statement 3 is wrong

Special Note:

Superconductivity: In the state of superconductivity, material exhibit zero resistivity (i.e. it loses its electrical resistance) and perfect diamagnetism. Superconductivity appears at low temperatures. Ex: Hg, Pb, Zn, CuS etc.

Transition temperature: It is a critical temperature at which there is a change of state from normal to superconducting and vice versa.
