Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - I and II only

Section 2(q) of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 covers disputes between workers and workers about employment or conditions of labour. It also expressly includes a dispute between an individual worker and the employer arising out of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or termination, without any need for union support. A dispute between two employers about the price of goods is not connected with employment, non-employment, terms of employment or conditions of labour, so it is not an industrial dispute.
