The correct option is D.
Statement 1 is correct: Ramcharitmanas, an epic poem based on the Ramayana, was authored by Tulsidas.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Padavali is a collection of devotional songs, primarily associated with the poet Vidyapati (Maithili language) and also Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami (in Bengali, describing Chaitanya Mahaprabhu). It is not primarily attributed to Tulsidas.
Statement 3 is correct: Kavitavali, another important work by Tulsidas, is a collection of poems in the Kavitta metre, dealing with various aspects of Rama’s life.
Tulsidas (c. 1532–1623) was a Ramanandi Sampradaya saint and poet renowned for his devotion to the deity Rama. Besides Ramcharitmanas and Kavitavali, his other notable works include Gitavali, Dohavali, Vairagya Sandipani, and Vinaya Patrika. Vidyapati (c. 1352–1448) was a Maithili poet and a devotee of Shiva, though his Padavali contains many poems dedicated to Krishna.
