Choose the correct statement regarding second law of motion?

Statement 1: The law states that whenever a force acts on a particular object, the object will accelerate based on the direction of the force

Statement 2: The law states that as long as the mass of an object is constant, increasing the force exerted onto it will also increase its acceleration

Statement 3: The law states that force remains constant, and then the increase of the mass of the object will cause acceleration to decrease
