Correct answer: D
Concept
The Citizenship Act, 1955 specifies statutory modes by which Indian citizenship may be acquired. These modes include acquisition by birth, by descent, by registration, by naturalisation, and by incorporation of territory.
Application
Match each statement in the question with the corresponding statutory mode:
Birth is an acquisition mode under Section 3.
Descent is an acquisition mode under Section 4.
Naturalisation is an acquisition mode under Section 6.
Incorporation of territory is an acquisition mode under Section 7.
Cross-check and contrast
“1 and 2” leaves out naturalisation and incorporation of territory.

“1, 2 and 3” leaves out incorporation of territory.
“1, 2, 3 and 4” includes every mode listed in the question.
Therefore, the complete set among the offered choices is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
