{'citizenship provisions': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'citizenship': [2, 0, 2, 2], 'citizen': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'provision': [5, 0, 10, 23], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'foreign state': [0, 0, 0, 1]}

The correct answer is option 3 - Both 1 and 2.

Option 1 states that a person cannot be a citizen of India if they have voluntarily acquired the citizenship of any foreign state. This means that if someone actively chooses to become a citizen of another country, they will lose their Indian citizenship.

Option 2 states that the Parliament has the power to make provisions regarding the acquisition and termination of citizenship, as well as other matters related to citizenship. This means that the Parliament has the authority to create laws and regulations regarding how citizenship is obtained or terminated, as well as any other issues related to citizenship.

Therefore, both statements are correct. It is important to note that the Constitution of India outlines the provisions related to citizenship and these provisions can be modified or amended by the Parliament if needed.

No alert is necessary.
