The correct option is D. As per the definition in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, an ‘Industrial Dispute’ must be between employers and employers, employers and workmen, or workmen and workmen.

Section 2(k) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 defines “industrial dispute” as “any dispute or difference between employers and employers, or between employers and workmen, or between workmen and workmen, which is connected with the employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour, of any person”.
Let’s examine the options:
A) employers and employers: Included in the definition.
B) workmen and workmen: Included in the definition.
C) employers and workmen: Included in the definition.
Since all three pairs are explicitly mentioned in the definition, a dispute between any of these parties can be termed an ‘Industrial Dispute’ if it meets the other criteria related to employment terms or labour conditions.

The broad definition of ‘industrial dispute’ in the Act is intended to cover a wide range of conflicts arising in industrial relations, allowing for their resolution through the mechanisms provided by the Act, such as conciliation, arbitration, and adjudication. The dispute must involve persons who fall within the definitions of ’employer’ or ‘workman’ under the Act.
