- D1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Brahmadeya grants meant the state renounced actual or potential revenue from the granted land (1 correct), and they could range from a small plot to several villages (2 correct). But most were made in settled, fertile areas — not in unsettled areas — so statement 3 is incorrect. Hence the features are 1 and 2 only.
