(a) B will be more crystalline due to more intermolecular interactions hence more efficient packing.
(b) B will have a higher boiling point due to higher intermolecular interactions.
(c) B will be more soluble in water than A as B will have more extent of H-bonding in water. ({Solubility data : O-salicylic acid = 2g/L ; P-salicylic acid = 5g/L)

So all three statements are correct.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
