The correct answer is option 4, which states that all three statements are correct.

Let`s analyze each statement:

Statement 1: Article 26 of the Constitution of India grants every religious denomination or any section thereof the right to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes. This means that religious groups have the freedom to build and run their own establishments such as temples, mosques, gurudwaras, etc., for religious and charitable activities.

Statement 2: Article 26 also gives religious denominations the right to manage their own affairs in matters of religion. This means that religious groups have autonomy in governing their religious rituals, practices, traditions, and internal affairs without interference from external authorities.

Statement 3: Article 26 also allows religious denominations the right to own and acquire movable and immovable property. This grants them the right to possess and purchase assets such as land, buildings, assets for religious purposes like idols, ornaments, etc.

Since all three statements correctly describe the provisions of Article 26, option 4 is the correct answer.
