The Legal Services Authorities in India provide free legal services to citizens who meet certain criteria.

Option 1 is correct, stating that a person with an annual income of less than Rs. 1,00,000 is eligible for free legal services. Similarly, a transgender with an annual income of less than Rs. 2,00,000 can also avail these services, which makes option 2 also correct.

On the contrary, option 3, suggesting that members of Other Backward Classes (OBC) with an annual income of less than Rs. 3,00,000 are qualified for free services, is incorrect. The eligibility does not consider the individual`s caste but only his or her economic status.

Option 4 states that all senior citizens are entitled to free legal services. This is not correct as their eligibility is also based on their income, not their age.

Hence, the correct response is option 1 - 1 and 2 only.
