Explanation:

A cold wave is a rapid fall in temperature within a 24-hour period. A cold wave is a weather phenomenon that is distinguished by the cooling of the air. Cold wave conditions develop if the temperature falls rapidly much below normal.

Statement 1 is correct: Foggy weather developed during the day which inhibits day warming and provides favorable conditions for cold wave conditions to linger on.

Statements 2 and 3 are correct: Clear sky conditions during the night, further facilitate lowering of temperature by radiation cooling. Occasionally, in the absence of western disturbances and persistent clear sky conditions, intense nocturnal radiation cooling may also cause night temperatures to fall below normal and result in cold wave conditions.
