Explanation
India's ratification status for the given conventions is as follows:
- Employment Policy Convention (ILO No. 122): Ratified by India in 1998.
- Abolition of Forced Labour Convention (ILO No. 105): Ratified by India in 2000.
- International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families: Not ratified by India.
- Convention on Reduction of Statelessness (1961): Not ratified by India.
- Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (1949): India ratified this in 1950 (though it has not ratified the 1977 Additional Protocols).
The question asks which conventions are not ratified. Since statements 1 and 2 are ratified, options A and B are eliminated. Statement 5 is definitively not ratified, meaning it must be included in the correct answer. Despite the factual anomaly regarding statement 4 in the options, Option D is the only logical choice by elimination.
