The correct answer is statement 3.

In the Scopes Trial, John T. Scopes was arrested for teaching the theory of evolution to biology students. This broke a Tennessee state law, forbidding this practice. In this case William Jennings Bryan, who was a former presidential candidate, was the prosecutor. This means he was working against John T. Scopes during the trial. Scopes was defended by a lawyer named Clarence Darrow.
