Correct answer
Explanation
All three statements are correct about debit cards. Debit cards eliminate the need to carry chequebooks and provide instant approval (statement 1). Customers sign a sale slip when making purchases (statement 2). Purchase amounts are immediately debited from the customer's account (statement 3). This is how debit card transactions work.
