Do you believe everything you read on the internet?
Take some artistic license . . . the compiler/interpreter doesn't care what kind of spacing you use. Don't let one of life's great opportunities pass you by.

Fanbois, all of you! 
I have spent the weekend with refreshing assembly. And what do I have to see here? You guys probably would hate it, because there is not very much you could argue over and no company that provides you with a style guide that is at least as thick as the famous Spanish Court Protocol.
Instead you would be forced to actually think about what you are doing.

Note the explanation under the heading: "It's just about the braces. Not about whether the leading brace should or should not be on the same line as the conditional. One war at a time."
I chose "It depends" instead of having 15 other options purely to focus the debate on the important question and not let it get dragged off into the weeds.

You, then underestimate the important question, to wit:
"Do they do it my way or the wrong way".
All other questions just paraphrase the above . . . trust me on this.

Especially without any comments:
condition && statement;
|
|
|
|
|
if(condition) statement;
Single/simple statement, and it's not a loop (for, while), might be put on the same line.
And never ever do;
if(condition) { statement; }
By the way, Alt 1 ought to be punishable ...
The number of "code fixes" I've seen in the form of;
if(condition)
statement;
being changed to
if(condition)
statement;
statement;
In one project I even found three statements ... Be safe, use BRACEs.

Alternative 3 is my favourite too.

{} are called braces, not brackets. Brackets are these things: ()
Anyway ... I prefer a language where they're not needed at all!
If condition Then ...do something 
|
|
|
|
|
Or, perhaps, they are both brackets.
I like that you kvetch about the braces being called brackets, and then proceed to call parentheses brackets.
At any rate, both are subset members of a superset known as: brackets.

Being pedantic again, I think kvetch is a bit strong... it was only a little dig 
But to go on (and on and bloody on!) about it ... the wonderful thing about the English language is its rich vocabulary. It's a shame to waste it.

Actually those are parentheses. Brackets are []

Common usage allows for either. But calling {} brackets is just wrong. Or American. (Same difference )
|
|
|
|
|
Certainly not "American".
() Parentheses
{} Braces
[] Brackets

Exactly. Not sure what he was talking about.

Where is it common to call () either parentheses or brackets?

... indented properly 
if (condition)
{
statement;
}
There are occasions when this is OK
if (condition) statement; But only when statement is short and obvious.
Anything longer than a dozen characters or so needs a new line, and braces. Modern IDE's handle the indentation for you, but they still get it wrong and it's easy to read
if (condition)
statement;
statement; wrongly, especially if you use the excreble 1TB indentation style
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
