The correct answer is B. i, ii, and iii.
A person can acquire Indian citizenship by birth, descent, registration, or naturalization.
- By birth: A person born in India on or after January 26, 1950, is a citizen of India by birth, irrespective of the nationality of his or her parents.
- By descent: A person born outside India is a citizen of India by descent if his or her father or mother is a citizen of India at the time of his or her birth.
- By registration: A person who is not a citizen of India may be registered as a citizen of India if he or she has been ordinarily resident in India for a period of 11 years and satisfies certain other conditions.
- By naturalization: A person who is not a citizen of India may be naturalized as a citizen of India if he or she has been ordinarily resident in India for a period of 10 years and satisfies certain other conditions.
Hereditary citizenship is not a mode of acquiring Indian citizenship.
