Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. By electionD. निर्वाचन द्वारा
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, citizenship is acquired under the Citizenship Act, 1955 through five recognised methods: birth, descent, registration, naturalisation and incorporation of territory.
Acquisition 'by election' is not listed among these statutory methods.
This type of question is best answered by memorising the complete five-part list rather than attempting to infer the answer.
Birth and descent relate to circumstances of birth and parentage, registration and naturalisation are legal processes, and incorporation of territory applies when new territory becomes part of India.
Therefore, the option not found in the source's five methods is acquisition by election.
स्रोत के अनुसार नागरिकता अधिनियम, 1955 के अंतर्गत नागरिकता प्राप्त करने के पांच मान्य तरीके हैं—जन्म, वंश, पंजीकरण, देशीयकरण और क्षेत्र के भारत में सम्मिलित होने के आधार पर। 'निर्वाचन द्वारा' नागरिकता प्राप्त करना इन पांच तरीकों में शामिल नहीं है। ऐसे प्रश्नों के लिए पांचों तरीकों की पूरी सूची याद रखना सबसे सुरक्षित है। सही उत्तर—निर्वाचन द्वारा।
