Answer

To analyze the statements regarding electric dipoles, we will evaluate each statement one by one.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1
**Statement 1:** The direction of electric dipole moment is directed from +q to -q.

**Analysis:**
The electric dipole moment (p) is defined as the vector quantity that points from the negative charge (-q) to the positive charge (+q). Therefore, the statement that the dipole moment is directed from +q to -q is **false**.

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2
**Statement 2:** Electric field at any point in space may be perpendicular to the dipole moment.

**Analysis:**
An electric dipole creates an electric field around it. The direction of the electric field can vary depending on the position in space. It is possible for the electric field at a certain point to be perpendicular to the dipole moment. For example, if we consider a point in space where the electric field forms a right angle with the dipole moment, this is indeed possible. Therefore, this statement is **true**.

### Step 3: Evaluate Statement 3
**Statement 3:** A dipole experiences maximum torque at the position where potential energy is zero.

**Analysis:**
The torque (τ) experienced by a dipole in an electric field is given by the formula:
\[ \tau = pE \sin \theta \]
where \( p \) is the dipole moment, \( E \) is the electric field strength, and \( \theta \) is the angle between the dipole moment and the electric field. The potential energy (U) of a dipole in an electric field is given by:
\[ U = -pE \cos \theta \]
For potential energy to be zero, \( \cos \theta \) must be zero, which occurs when \( \theta = 90^\circ \). At this angle, \( \sin \theta = 1 \), leading to maximum torque:
\[ \tau = pE \cdot 1 = pE \]
Thus, the statement is **true**.

### Conclusion
Based on the evaluations:
- Statement 1 is **false**.
- Statement 2 is **true**.
- Statement 3 is **true**.

The final answer is that the correct option is **4** (false, true, true).
