The correct answer is option 3, which states that all three statements are correct.

Let`s break down each statement:

1. Offices connected with a religious or denominated institution may be reserved for members professing the particular religion to which the institution relates.

This statement is correct. According to the Constitution of India, religious or denominational institutions have the right to reserve offices for their members who belong to the same religion. This allows religious institutions to maintain their religious identity and values.

2. The State may reserve any post or appointment in favor of any backward class of citizens who, in the opinion of the State, are not adequately represented in the services under that State.

This statement is also correct. The State has the authority to reserve posts or appointments in order to uplift and provide opportunities to backward classes of citizens who are underrepresented in government services. This reservation aims to promote equality and social justice.

3. No citizen shall, on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, or any of them, be ineligible for any office under the State.

This statement is correct. The Constitution of India guarantees equality of opportunity for all citizens. No citizen can be deprived of any office under the State based on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex
