Read the summary.

The Ottoman Empire began as the unification of Seljuk tribes, organized by Osman Gazi (1). The Ottomans were a hybrid of the Turkish, Byzantine, and Muslim cultures (2). They embraced the Eastern Christian Orthodox religion and denounced Islam and the Roman Catholic Church (3). The Ottoman Empire successfully absorbed the Byzantine colonies until it had conquered sections of North Africa along the seacoast, all of Egypt, Greece, Bulgaria, and most of the Middle East (4).

I think 2 and 4 are correct

The foundation and rise of the Ottoman Empire is a period of history that started with the emergence of the Ottoman principality in c. 1299, and ended with the conquest of Constantinople on May 29, 1453. This period witnessed the foundation of a political entity ruled by the Ottoman Dynasty in the northwestern Anatolian region of Bithynia, and its transformation from a small principality on the Byzantine frontier into an empire spanning the Balkans and Anatolia. For this reason, this period in the empire's history has been described as the Proto-Imperial Era.[1] Throughout most of this period, the Ottomans were merely one of many competing states in the region, and relied upon the support of local warlords and vassals to maintain control over their realm. By the middle of the fifteenth century the Ottoman sultans were able to accumulate enough personal power and authority to establish a centralized imperial state, a process which was brought to fruition by Sultan Mehmed II (r. 1451-1481).[2] The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 is seen as the symbolic moment when the emerging Ottoman state shifted from a mere principality into an empire, marking a major turning point in its history.[3]

The cause of Ottoman success cannot be attributed to any single factor, and they varied throughout the period as the Ottomans continually adapted to changing circumstances.[4]

The earlier part of this period, the fourteenth century, is particularly difficult for historians to study due to the scarcity of sources. Not a single written document survives from the reign of Osman I, and very little survives from the rest of the century.[5] The Ottomans, furthermore, did not begin to record their own history until the fifteenth century, more than a hundred years after many of the events they describe.[6] It is thus a great challenge for historians to differentiate between fact and myth in analyzing the stories contained in these later chronicles,[7] so much so that one historian has even declared it impossible, describing the earliest period of Ottoman history as a "black hole."[8]

To determine which statements are correct, let's analyze each of them:

1. The statement "The Ottoman Empire began as the unification of Seljuk tribes, organized by Osman Gazi" is correct. Osman Gazi was the founder and first leader of the Ottoman Empire, which originated as a small principality in what is now modern-day Turkey.

2. The statement "The Ottomans were a hybrid of the Turkish, Byzantine, and Muslim cultures" is correct. The Ottoman Empire spanned across diverse territories and incorporated various cultural influences, including Turkish, Byzantine (Greek and Roman), and Muslim traditions.

3. The statement "They embraced the Eastern Christian Orthodox religion and denounced Islam and the Roman Catholic Church" is incorrect. The Ottoman Empire was predominantly Muslim and gradually adopted Islam as its official religion. While it tolerated other religious communities within its territories, it did not embrace Eastern Christian Orthodox beliefs or denounce Islam and the Roman Catholic Church.

4. The statement "The Ottoman Empire successfully absorbed the Byzantine colonies until it had conquered sections of North Africa along the seacoast, all of Egypt, Greece, Bulgaria, and most of the Middle East" is partially correct. The Ottoman Empire did conquer Byzantine territories, including Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1453, which marked the end of the Byzantine Empire. It also expanded its territories to include regions in North Africa (such as Algeria and Tunisia), Egypt, Greece, and parts of the Middle East (including modern-day Turkey, Iraq, and Syria).

Therefore, statement 1, 2, and 4 (partially) are correct.
