Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Under Chapter VIII of the Income-tax Act, 2025: section 134 allows a deduction for rent paid for accommodation occupied for one's own residence (I-4); section 135 allows a deduction for certain donations for scientific research or for research in social science or statistical research (II-3); section 136 allows an Indian company a deduction for contributions, other than in cash, to a registered political party or an electoral trust (III-1); and section 137 allows a deduction for such contributions made by any assessee other than a local authority and an artificial juridical person wholly or partly funded by the Government (IV-2). (These were ss.80GG, 80GGA, 80GGB and 80GGC of the Income-tax Act, 1961.)

The correct code is therefore I-4, II-3, III-1, IV-2; each of the other codes mismatches at least one pair.
