Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The First Past the Post (FPTP) system (Not Proportional Representation) offers voters a choice not only between parties but also between specific candidates. Statement 2 is incorrect: More than one representative may be elected from one constituency in the Proportional Representation system (not in the FPTP). In the First Past the Post System, every constituency elects one representative. Statement 3 is correct: In the Proportional Representation system, the entire country may be a single constituency.
