Answer

Status

dropped

Explanation

This question was dropped by UPSC. The issue arose because the options did not provide an unambiguously correct combination of conventions that India had not ratified. In particular, India had ratified the Employment Policy Convention and the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, while the status of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War made the provided combinations problematic. Therefore no answer option is assigned in the final dataset.
