Explanation

Article 26 of the Indian Constitution guarantees specific collective rights to every religious denomination or section thereof, subject to public order, morality, and health [t1][t6]. These rights include: (a) the right to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes [t1][t4]; (b) the right to manage its own affairs in matters of religion [t2][t3]; (c) the right to own and acquire movable and immovable property [t1][t2]; and (d) the right to administer such property in accordance with law [t4]. Unlike Article 25, which focuses on individual freedom of conscience, Article 26 protects the autonomy of religious groups to manage their internal affairs and institutional assets [t1][t6]. All three statements provided in the question accurately reflect the clauses (a), (b), and (c) of Article 26, making option 4 the correct choice.
