Explanation:

- Statement 1: A misappropriates his friend's book by pawning it. This is dishonest misappropriation as A intended to use it initially only for reading.

- Statement 2: A takes the jointly owned horse for exclusive use, and later sells it. This constitutes misappropriation since A denies B's rights and benefits from the sale.

- Statement 3: A picks up a purse from the road, but before he can do anything with it, he is arrested, and the purse is recovered. As A didn’t have the opportunity to misappropriate the purse, a dishonest misappropriation hasn't occurred.

Correct Answer: Option 3 - 3 alone
