The correct answer is option 1: 1, 2 and 3.

Let`s break down each statement to understand why this is the correct answer:

Statement 1: Creepers or climbers are commonly found in the tropical rainforest.

This statement is correct. Creepers or climbers are plants that have stems that grow horizontally along the ground or attach themselves to other plants or structures for support. The tropical rainforest provides abundant vegetation and trees for creepers or climbers to grow and thrive.

Statement 2: The epiphytes, which do not have their roots on the ground, survive on the trees in the tropical rainforest.

This statement is also correct. Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants, usually trees, without harming or taking nutrients from the host plant. They do not have roots on the ground but depend on the host plant for support and access to sunlight and nutrients.

Statement 3: All epiphytes are not creepers.

This statement is correct. While some epiphytes may be creepers or climbers, not all epiphytes are like this. Epiphytes can take different forms, including small plants or orchids that attach themselves to the branches or trunks of trees in the tropical rainforest.

Therefore,
