What was the challenge?
It's pretty simple one. Nowhere it is mentioned that you have to make it as
10 & not allowed to make TEN. So three sticks from first, one from second &
2 from third gives us TEN.
However, we can make it as 10 as well. Removing 1 stick from first, 4 from
second & 1 from third produces 10.

How it was tricky & what were others?
One has to be true & other 3 must be false. Let's consider each case one by one.
Case A : According to this statement the number of false statement is 1 which is contrary to given condition that 1 is true & 3 are false. So it can't be true.
Case B : As per this, number of false statements = 2 which is again contrary to given condition of 3 false statements.So it can't be true.
Case C : As per this, number of false statements =3 exactly matching the given condition.
Case D : This implies number of false statements = 4 meaning that all the statements including itself are false. This is opposite to given condition. So this has to be false as well.
So the statement C is true & all other are false!
