Explanation:

Justification & Learning: Statement 1: Here are some uses of Hyrdrogen:
• Hydrogen is used for the conversion of heavy petroleum fractions into lighter ones via the process of hydrocracking.
• It is also used for the production of ammonia via Haber process
• It may be used in fuel cells for local electricity generation
Statement 2: Paraffin wax is also used in making Vaseline and candles.
Statement 3: Natural gas is generally found alongwith petroleum and is not obtained after its distillation. So, 3 is wrong.
