stats: 

0,26,42,14,26,7,21

keywords: 

{'global hunger index': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'hunger level': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'gross national income': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'economic progress': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'proportion': [1, 1, 2, 8], 'countries': [1, 0, 2, 6], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

Option 1: This option states that all three statements are correct. Let`s evaluate each statement.

Statement 1: It claims that India ranks within the top ten among developing countries in the Global Hunger Index 2010. The given information does not present the actual ranking, so we can neither confirm nor deny this statement.

Statement 2: It suggests that according to the Global Hunger Index 2010, the proportion of undernourished people in India is decreasing. Again, the given information does not provide any specific data regarding the trend, so we cannot ascertain the accuracy of this statement.

Statement 3: It indicates that economic progress measured by gross national income and hunger level are inversely correlated. This statement seems logical as higher economic progress usually results in a decrease in hunger levels. Therefore, this statement is likely to be true.

Since we are unable to confirm the accuracy of the first two statements, option 1 cannot be the correct answer.

Option 2: This option states that only statements 2 and 3 are correct. As we discussed earlier, statement 3 seems plausible. However, since we could not determine the correctness of statement 2, we cannot say that option 2 is the correct answer.

Option 3: This option asserts that
