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.
