keywords: 

{'total agricultural household': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'agriculture household': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'agricultural household': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'agricultural activities': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rural household': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'rajasthan': [0, 0, 1, 18], 'maximum income': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'kerala': [7, 2, 0, 3], 'highest percentage share': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'percent': [5, 1, 3, 14], 'situation assessment survey': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

In this question, three statements regarding the National Sample Survey Office`s 70th Round "Situation Assessment Survey of Agriculture Household" are presented.

1. The first statement claims that Rajasthan has the highest percentage share of agricultural households among its rural households. But this statement is incorrect because as per the survey, Andhra Pradesh has the highest share.

2. The second statement asserts that over 60% of the total agricultural households in the country belong to OBCs. However, this is not accurate either. The survey indicates that scheduled tribes have the highest number of agricultural households.

3. The last statement alleges that in Kerala, over 60% of agricultural households have reported receiving maximum income from sources other than agricultural activities. This statement is true.

Therefore, option 3 is the correct answer because it considers the first and third statements only out of which the third one is correct. Options 1, 2, and 4 are incorrect because they falsely assert that the inaccurate statements 1 and 2 are valid.
