{'first peacekeeping force': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'peacekeeping force': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'women peacekeeping force': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'security council': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'liberia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'force': [0, 0, 0, 2]}

The correct answer is option 3, which states that only statement 3 is correct. Let`s analyze each option to understand why.

Option 1 states that statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct. However, this is incorrect because statement 2, "Peacekeeping force is accountable to the Security Council," is inaccurate. The peacekeeping force is actually accountable to the United Nations General Assembly.

Option 2 states that only statements 1 and 2 are correct. This is also incorrect because statement 2, as mentioned earlier, is incorrect.

Option 3 states that only statement 3 is correct. This is the correct answer. Statement 3, "First women peacekeeping force was sent by India to Liberia," is accurate, highlighting the fact that India sent the first all-women peacekeeping force to Liberia.

Option 4 states that only statements 1 and 3 are correct. However, statement 1, "The first peacekeeping force was sent to Egypt," is incorrect. The first peacekeeping force was actually sent to the Congo (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1960.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 3, and statement 3 is the only correct statement.
