The correct answer is option 3: Only 3.

Statement 1 is incorrect. The National Knowledge Commission was actually set up by an executive order issued by the Prime Minister of India, not by a notification of the Ministry of Human Resource Development.

Statement 2 is also incorrect. The National Knowledge Commission has eleven members, not twelve. And all the members, including the Chairperson, serve on a part-time basis.

Statement 3 is correct. The National Knowledge Commission was established in 2005 and had a fixed term, after which it was supposed to wind itself up. In October 2008, the Commission did indeed submit its final report on its tasks and was dissolved.

In conclusion, only statement 3 is correct.
