Option 1 states that Malawi is a landlocked country in southeast Africa that was formerly known as Nyasaland. This statement is correct. Malawi is indeed a landlocked country in southeastern Africa. It is bordered by Zambia to the northwest, Tanzania to the northeast and east, and Mozambique to the east, south, and west. Additionally, Malawi was known as Nyasaland before gaining independence in 1964.

Option 2 states that Malawi has a presidential system with a unitary form of government. This statement is correct. Malawi has a presidential system, meaning that the president is both the head of state and the head of government. The country also has a unitary form of government, where power is concentrated at the central level rather than being divided between multiple levels of government.

Option 3 states that Malawi`s economy is highly dependent on agriculture and the majority of the population is rural. This statement is also correct. Agriculture plays a crucial role in Malawi`s economy, accounting for a significant portion of the country`s GDP and employing a large portion of the population. Additionally, the majority of the population in Malawi resides in rural areas, where agriculture is the primary source of livelihood.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3,
