Codes:

Correct option is B

Statement 1 is correct.

Mother Teresa was canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis on September 4, 2016, at a ceremony held in Vatican City. This followed her beatification in 2003 by Pope John Paul II. The date marked an important moment for her followers and for the Roman Catholic Church, recognizing her work in serving the poor and sick, especially in Kolkata, India.

Statement 2 is incorrect.

Although Mother Teresa spent most of her life in India, she was born in Skopje, which is now in North Macedonia. She is considered an Albanian-Indian figure but not the first Indian-born woman to be declared a Saint. The first Indian to be canonized by the Catholic Church was St. Alphonsa, an Indian nun from Kerala, who was declared a saint in 2008 by Pope Benedict XVI.

Statement 3 is correct.

Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work, especially her efforts in working with the poor and marginalized people through her organization, the Missionaries of Charity. She refused the ceremonial banquet that accompanies the prize and asked that the funds be given to the poor.
