- B2, 3 and 4
- C1 and 2 only
- D1 and 4
Explanation
Under the Citizenship Act, 1955, an Indian loses citizenship by renunciation (1) or by voluntarily acquiring another country's citizenship (2). Marrying a foreign national does not by itself terminate Indian citizenship, and criticizing the government is no ground for loss of citizenship. Hence 1 and 2 only.
