The correct statements regarding the performance of Mithali Raj in women's One Day International Cricket are: (a) A, B and C only

She holds the world record for scoring the highest number of centuries. This statement is incorrect.

While Mithali Raj has an impressive record in terms of total runs scored, she does not hold the world record for scoring the highest number of centuries in women's One Day Internationals. The record for the highest number of centuries is held by Australian cricketer Belinda Clark, who scored 11 centuries in her career.
