Option 1 : 2 and 4

Statements 2 and 4 are not correct.

Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar was a person of wide knowledge or learning from Bengal India and a key figure of the Bengal Renaissance.

He was an academic educator, philosopher, publisher, entrepreneur, philanthropist, writer, translator, printer, and reformer.
He simplified and modernized Bengali prose. Hence considered the "father of Bengali prose"
Also rationalized and simplified the Bengali alphabet and type, which had remained unchanged since Charles Wilkins and Panchanan Karmakar had cut the first (wooden) Bengali type in 1780. Hence statement 1 is correct.
His graduation college, Sanskrit College, Calcutta gave him the title “Vidyasagar”, due to his excellent performance in Sanskrit studies and philosophy. Hence statement 2 is not correct.
Anil Kumar Gain, a Noted Cambridge mathematician, founded Vidyasagar University, in his honour.
He favoured widow remarriage and women’s education and strongly protested against polygamy, child-marriage in India. Hence statement 3 is correct.
Despite severe opposition and a counter-petition by Radhakanta Deb and the Dharma Sabha, he campaigned for Hindu widow remarriage and petitioned the Legislative council.
Lord Dalhousie personally finalised the bill and passed Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act, 1856, despite the opposition and it was being considered a flagrant breach of Hindu customs as prevalent then.
Vidyasagar's brilliant strategy paired a rereading of Hindu scripture with an emotional plea on behalf of the widow, resulting in an organic reimagining of Hindu law and custom. Vidyasagar made his case through the two-part publication Hindu Widow Marriage, a tour de force of logic, erudition, and humanitarian rhetoric. Hence statement 4 is not correct.
