Is this number of transponders correct?

In the following article, regarding redundant systems, Byron Bailey said

"the 777 has 80 computers and three sets of nearly every system on board – including three radios, three radar transponders, three autopilots and three flight management computers – to ensure a "practically fail safe" operation.

A failure of one will result in transfer, usually automatically, to another. "


Here is what I am asking 777 pilots: Is it correct that there are three transponders?
