The correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 only is not correct.

Let`s dissect each option to better understand the answer:

- Option 1 states that statements 1 and 2 are not correct. However, statement 1 is actually correct. The Bhakti and Sufi Saints did bring about a better understanding of the fundamental tenets of Hinduism and Islam, emphasizing their similarities.

- Option 2 states that only statement 2 is not correct. This is the correct answer. The Bhakti and Sufi Saints did not bring about important changes in the approach to religion by emphasizing formal observances and rituals.

- Option 3 states that statements 2 and 3 are not correct. However, statement 3 is actually correct. The Bhakti and Sufi Saints did contribute to the growth of regional languages and literature.

- Option 4 states that statement 3 only is not correct. However, statement 3 is actually correct, so this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, as it correctly identifies that only statement 2 is not correct.
