    Explanation:

    The Indian Institute of Horticultural Research (IIHR) has developed a new marigold variety named Arka Shubha. 

    • Arka Shubha has carotene content of around 2.8% (for all marigolds, it's maximum upto 1.4%) which is the highest among all plant sources.
    • This new variety of marigold can be used for extraction of crude carotene even if spoiled after full bloom, unlike that of other varieties.
    • Carotenes are carotenoid pigments that are oxygen-free. Mostly they are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain only carbon and hydrogen. 

    Hence only statements 2&3 are correct.
