A1, 2, 3 and 4
B1, 2 and 3 only
C2, 3 and 4 only
D1 and 4 only

Explanation

V.P. Singh's government was defeated on a no-confidence motion in November 1990, H.D. Deve Gowda's in April 1997, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee's in April 1999 by a single vote. Morarji Desai, by contrast, resigned in July 1979 before the no-confidence motion against him could be put to vote, so he was not 'defeated' by it. The Prime Ministers actually defeated by no-confidence votes are therefore 2, 3 and 4, option (C).
