It was launched to replace the IRNSS-1A.

This statement is correct. IRNSS-1H was intended to replace the malfunctioning IRNSS-1A satellite in India's NAVIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) program.

It is eighth in the series of India’s NAVIC program.

This statement is correct. IRNSS-1H was the eighth satellite in the IRNSS series, part of India's NAVIC program.

It was launched successfully.

This statement is incorrect. The launch of IRNSS-1H was not successful. It was launched in August 2017 but faced issues with its heat shield separation, leading to the satellite not being deployed into its intended orbit.

Therefore, the correct option is 2 (1 and 2 only).
