Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Acquiring nationality on conquest of a State is called subjugation, not cession, and the General Assembly decided to convene the statelessness conference in 1954, the Convention only being adopted in 1961; substitution is a recognised mode of loss of nationality and Stoeck v. Public Trustee concerned statelessness, so the correct statements are "2 and 3".
