Option 1 : 1 only

P wave are like Sound waves and can travel in all the three mediums of solid, liquid and gas. Hence statement 1 is correct.

S waves can only travel in solid medium and cannot travel in liquid and gaseous medium. Hence statement 2 is incorrect.

Velocity of P waves is in proportional to density of medium and hence it decreases as it enters from denser to rarer medium or solid to liquid medium. Hence statement 3 is incorrect.
