Explanation:

- Option 1: when the right to sue first accrues

- This means the limitation period starts the moment a person is first entitled to file the suit. As per Article 58 of the Limitation Act, the clock starts when the right to sue accrues.

- Option 2: within 3 years from the filing of the suit

- This is incorrect. The limitation period cannot start from the date of filing, as filing happens after the cause of action.

- Option 3: within 3 years from the date of cause of action

- This is similar to option 1. "Date of cause of action" is usually the same as "when the right to sue first accrues," as both refer to the point when a legal right is infringed.

- Option 4: None of the above

- This is incorrect; the correct answer is given.
