Correct answer: (a) 1 and 2 only

Explanation

  1. A

    1 and 2 only

    1 and 2 only. Income-poor persons and transgender persons (with the notified income cap) get free legal aid. A blanket OBC-at-₹3-lakh and ‘all senior citizens’ are not the keyed pair.

  2. B

    3 and 4 only

    4 only. Senior citizens are not automatically covered as a class.

  3. C

    2 and 3 only

    2 and 3 only. Drops the general income limb; keeps an OBC over-claim.

  4. D

    1 and 4 only

    1 and 4 only. All seniors is the miss.

Summary. Official key is (a) 1 and 2 only. NALSA/State authorities cover persons below the notified income and transgender persons (with their income cap). OBC membership at a higher cap and every senior citizen are not that list.
