Option 1 states that a person shall be disqualified for being chosen as or being a member of either House of the Parliament if they hold any office of profit under the Government of India or the Government of any State, except for offices that have been exempted by the Parliament through a law. This means that if a person holds any office of profit, they cannot be a member of Parliament.

Option 2 states that a person shall be disqualified if they are of unsound mind and have been declared so by a competent court. This means that if a person is declared to be of unsound mind by a court, they cannot be a member of Parliament.

Option 3 states that a person shall be disqualified if they remain absent from all meetings of the House for a period of 60 days without the permission of the House. This means that if a person is absent from all meetings of the House for 60 days without permission, they cannot be a member of Parliament.

The correct answer is option 3 because all three statements are true. If a person holds an office of profit, is of unsound mind, or remains absent from all House meetings for 60 days without permission, they will be disqualified from being chosen as or being a member of Parliament.
