The correct answer is option 4, which states that the correct statements are 2 and 3.

Let`s dissect each option to understand why option 4 is correct:

Option 1 states that statement 1, 2, and 3 are correct. However, statement 1 is not accurate. UNESCO`s World Heritage mission does not aim to take over the management, maintenance, and preservation of World Heritage sites. Instead, it works with state parties to ensure the protection and preservation of these sites.

Option 2 states that statement 1 and 3 are correct. As we discussed earlier, statement 1 is incorrect. Therefore, Option 2 is also incorrect as it includes an incorrect statement.

Option 3 states that statement 1 and 2 are correct. This is partially correct. Statement 2 is accurate, as UNESCO`s World Heritage mission encourages state parties to nominate sites within their national territory for inclusion on the World Heritage List. However, statement 1 is still incorrect, so Option 3 is not the correct answer.

Option 4 states that statement 2 and 3 are correct. As explained earlier, statement 2 is correct. Additionally, statement 3 is also accurate, as UNESCO provides emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in immediate danger.
