Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be a left $R$-module. Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The set of all submodules of $M$ forms a group under the operation of addition.

  2. The set of all submodules of $M$ forms a ring under the operation of addition and multiplication.

  3. The set of all submodules of $M$ forms a field under the operation of addition and multiplication.
