Explanation:

Only statements 1&3 are correct.

Ring of Fire

• Taiwan is prone to earthquakes as it lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where 90% of the world’s earthquakes take place.

• Circum-Pacific Belt – The Ring of Fire is also referred to as the Circum-Pacific Belt.

• It is a path along the Pacific Ocean characterized by a string of hundreds of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.

• It is a semicircle or horse shoe in shape and stretches nearly 40,250 kilometres. 

• The majority of Earth’s volcanoes and earthquakes take place along the Ring of Fire.

• It traces boundaries between several tectonic plates, including the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, Cocos, Indian-Australian, Nazca, North American, and Philippine Plates.

• Reasons for predominant volcanoes – Along much of the Ring of Fire, plates overlap at convergent boundaries called subduction zones.

• This stretch of the Ring of Fire is a transform boundary, where plates move sideways past one another.

• This type of boundary generates a large number of earthquakes as tension in Earth’s crust builds up and is released.

• Countries – The Pacific Ring of Fire runs through countries including the USA, Indonesia, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Guatemala, Russia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica, Philippines, New Zealand, Australia, and Papua New Guinea.

Hence option 2nd is correct.
