{'famous traveller ibn battuta': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'moroccan traveller': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'fourteenth century': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'envoy': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'delhi': [4, 0, 4, 1], 'sultan': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 2: 1 and 3 only.

Let`s dissect each option to understand why option 2 is the correct answer:

Option 1 states that statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. Statement 1 is indeed correct as Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan traveller. However, statement 2 is incorrect. Ibn Battuta did document his travels, but he did not specifically write a book called Kitab-ul-Hind. Option 1 is therefore incorrect, as statement 2 is wrong.

Option 3 states that only statement 3 is correct. This is incorrect, as statement 1, which identifies Ibn Battuta as a Moroccan traveller, is also true. Option 3 is therefore incorrect.

Option 4 states that statements 1 and 2 only are correct. This is partially correct, as statement 1 is true that Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan traveller. However, as stated earlier, statement 2 is incorrect. Therefore, option 4 is also incorrect.

Based on our analysis of each option, option 2, which states that statements 1 and 3 only are correct, is the correct answer. Statement 1 is true that Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan traveller, and statement 3 is
