As we have learnt,

Fibrous protiens have several polypeptide chains running parallel which are held together by H- bonds and disulphide bonds

Eg. Keratin , Collagen Myosin (muscle protein)

It is Globular protein in which there is a coiling of polypeptide chains to give a spherical shape.

Hence, statements (b) and (c) are correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option (3)
