UMVUE in a three-cell multinomial

Let (Y1,Y2,Y3)∈{0,1,…,n}3(Y_1,Y_2,Y_3)\in\{0,1,…,n\}^3 be a discrete random vector having joint probability mass function P(Y1=y1,Y2=y2,Y3=y3)={n!y1!y2!y3! py1(2p)y2(1−3p)y3if y1+y2+y3=n, 0otherwise,\mathbb{P}(Y_1=y_1,Y_2=y_2,Y_3=y_3)=\begin{cases}\dfrac{n!}{y_1!y_2!y_3!}\,p^{y_1}(2p)^{y_2}(1-3p)^{y_3}& \text{if }y_1+y_2+y_3=n,\ 0& \text{otherwise,}\end{cases} where 0≤p≤130\le p\le\frac13 is an unknown parameter. Assume the convention 00=10^0=1. The maximum likelihood estimator of pp is denoted by p^\hat p. Which of the following statements is correct?
