Answer:

3. The origins of accounting are generally attributed to Socrates, a classical Greek philosopher, who promoted accounting as a social contract

Explanation:

Accounting deals with recording classifying, analyzing, interpreting and  communicating financial information to various users. Be it cost accounting, managerial accounting or financial accounting, they are all used for decision making  for both the managers of the organisation (as in managerial accounting ) and other users of accounting information like shareholders, investors, lenders, general public etc.  

The third statement "The origins of accounting are generally attributed to Socrates, a classical Greek philosopher, who promoted accounting as a social contract" is said to be incorrect because Accounting is traced to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians' developments in writing, counting and money and early auditing systems.
