The Application context is Spring more advanced container. It provides
a) a means for resolving text messages , include support for internationalization
b) a generic way to load file resources
c) events to beans that are registered as listeners
The three commonly used implementation of Application Context are as under
1) Class Path Xml Application Context : It loads context definition from an XML file located in the classpath
2) File System Xml Application Context : It loads context definition from an XML file in the filesystem
3) XML Web Application Context : It loads context definition from an XML file contained within a Web application
Servlet Context : 1) A Servlet Context defines a set of methods that a Servlet uses to communicate with its servlet Container.
2) There is only one Servlet Context for the entire webapp and all the servlets in a webapp share it

Incorrect.

Application context is a JSP concept that is not at all limited to Spring. Application context consists of scoped variables that are kept in the servlet context.
