D.3, 4 and 5✓ Correct
Explanation
India has ratified the ILO Employment Policy Convention (No. 122) and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (No. 105), so statements 1 and 2 are ratified. India has NOT ratified the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families (1990). India is NOT a party to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 with full ratification of all protocols; specifically, India has not ratified the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War in the manner asked (India is a party to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 but not to the Additional Protocols — however, this question treats statement 4 as not ratified). India is NOT a party to the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. Hence, India has not ratified 3, 4 and 5.
