Answer:

Option D: 1, 2 and 3

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “1, 2 and 3”.

All three statements are correct components of tenancy reforms in India:

1) Regulation of rent: This involves setting fair and reasonable rent levels for tenants to prevent exploitation by landlords.

2) Security of tenure: This provides tenants with the right to continue occupying their land for a specified period, protecting them from arbitrary eviction.

3) Confirment of ownership on tenants: In some cases, tenancy reforms have included measures to confer ownership rights on tenants who have been cultivating the land for a significant period, effectively transferring land ownership from landlords to tenants.
