Explanation:

The Uttaradhyayana Sutta is a Jain text, not Buddhist. Dipavamsa is indeed a historical chronicle of Sri Lanka, and it mainly focuses on the history of Buddhism in the island. Ashokavadana is one of the avadana texts that narrate the legends of Emperor Ashoka. It describes various events of Ashoka's life, including his distribution of the Buddha’s relics. Thus, the correct statements are 2 and 3 only.
