Option 1: This option includes Statement 1, 2, and 3. Clearly, Statement 3 is inaccurate because maps can indeed show routes from one place to another. Therefore, it`s incorrect.

Option 2: This option incorporates Statement 1, 2, and 3 as well. As explained above, maps can show routes, thus Statement 3 is incorrect, making this option incorrect.

Option 3: This option comprises of Statement 1 and 2, both of which are correct. Conformal maps are a type of map that preserves shape but may distort other properties. Statement 2 is essentially the core purpose of maps which is to demonstrate spatial relationships.

Option 4: This option represents all the statements which aren`t fully correct as the third statement is false as we have discussed above.

So, the only option that contains entirely accurate statements is Option 3. Hence, it`s the correct answer.
