Option: 1

Points at x=0 and x=1 are at mean positions


Option: 2

Points at x=0.5 and x=1.5 have max acc


Option: 3

Y=A sin\; (\pi x+\pi t)

V_{p}=\frac{\partial Y}{\partial t} = \pi A cos (\pi x +\pi t)

a_{p}=\frac{\partial^{2} Y}{\partial t^{2}} = -\pi^{2} A sin (\pi x +\pi t)

Now, substitute   t=0 and given value of x.

Since,  \omega t and Kx are of same sign , hence the wave is travelling in negative x- direction.

Therefore all options are correct.
