Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 2 of the Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939 makes seven years' (not four years') imprisonment of the husband a ground, and it does not list the husband's conversion to another religion as a ground (Section 4 deals only with the wife's renunciation of Islam), whereas absence for four years and continuing impotence are listed, so "1 and 2" are not mentioned.
