 Hello @sonali86 and welcome to Trac!

 Thank you for the ticket.

 Issue 1: When a/some plugin is deactivated, it/they do immediately count
 as "Recently Active" tab and shows up there if the tab is selected. This
 tab name is also correct. "Deactivated" (a verb) should only be used to
 refer to the last action only. After being deactivated in an action it's
 state is Inactive (an adjective). States and actions should not
 necessarily be the same words.

 Issue 2: Same as above. To activate or deactivate are verbs describing an
 action, to be made or have just been made. After the action has happened,
 they have state Active or Inactive. This is correct.

 Issue 3: This could be an enhancement. This should then also be checked
 for "Deactivate", "Activate" and "Delete" actions. I also apply to all
 list tables with bulk actions, and they should behave in a similar way.
 New helper methods for all bulk actions, to check if needed to be shown,
 should be created in WP_List_Table class. But even more important, for
 clarity, is to make the "Apply" button inactive when no bulk action as
 selected (yet). I think there may be a ticket for that somewhere.
