Correct answer: (d) 1, 2 and 3
Explanation
- A
1 only
Regulation of rent is one tenancy-reform measure, but security of tenure and ownership for tenants are also pillars. ‘1 only’ is incomplete.
- B
1 and 2 only
Rent regulation and security of tenure are both measures, but conferment of ownership on tenants (optional/purchase) is the third classic limb. Stopping at 1 and 2 is incomplete.
- C
2 and 3 only
Security and ownership without rent regulation omits a core post-Independence tenancy reform.
- D
1, 2 and 3
Indian tenancy reform is taught as three measures: regulation of rent, security of tenure, and conferment of ownership rights on tenants. All of 1, 2 and 3 are correct, so (d) is the official key.
Summary. Official key is (d). Tenancy reform = rent regulation + security of tenure + ownership for tenants. All three statements stand.
