Iran was among the five founding members of OPEC in 1960, and the Strait of Hormuz indeed lies between Iran and Oman's Musandam exclave, so statements 1 and 3 are correct. The strait connects the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman (not the Gulf of Aden), making statement 2 wrong.

INS Surat is a Project 15B guided-missile destroyer, so pair 1 is correct. INS Nilgiri is a Project 17A stealth frigate and INS Vaghsheer is a Project 75 Scorpene-class submarine — their descriptions have been swapped, so pairs 2 and 3 are wrong; only one pair is correctly matched.
