Under which of the following conditions can citizenship be provided in India ? 1. One should be born in India. 2. Either of whose parents was born in India. 3. Who was been ordinary resident of India for not less than five years. Select the correct answer using the code given below:

Under the Constitution of India and the Citizenship Act, 1955, citizenship can be acquired through several conditions. Article 5 of the Constitution specifies that at its commencement, a person who had their domicile in India and was born in India (Condition 1) became a citizen [c3]. Additionally, a person whose either parent was born in India (Condition 2) also qualified for citizenship [c3]. Furthermore, any person who had been an ordinary resident of India for not less than five years immediately preceding the commencement of the Constitution was eligible (Condition 3) [c3]. The Citizenship Act, 1955, further expanded these provisions, allowing for citizenship by birth, descent, registration, and naturalization [c1][t4]. Specifically, registration for persons of Indian origin often requires a period of five years of ordinary residence [t1]. Thus, all three conditions listed are valid pathways for providing citizenship in India.
