The given plot shows the variation of U, the potential energy of interaction between two particles, with the distance separating them, r.

(l) B and D are equilibrium points.
(2) C is a point of stable equilibrium.
(3) The force of interaction between the two particles is attractive between points C and B, and repulsive between points D and E on the curve.
(4) The force of interaction between the particles is repulsive between points C and A. Which of the above statements are correct?
