Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4) : B, C, D only

 

  • Protection of wages (B): Labour laws ensure that workers receive fair wages for their work and protect them from exploitation regarding payment.
  • Compensation for loss (C): Workers are entitled to compensation for any loss or injury that occurs during the course of their employment, as mandated by labour laws.
  • Right to form trade union (D): Labour laws typically guarantee workers the right to form trade unions or associations to collectively bargain for better working conditions and wages.

A. More holidays: While some labour laws might mandate a minimum number of paid holidays, the number of holidays can vary depending on the industry, company policies, and negotiated agreements. It's not a universally guaranteed benefit.

E. Providing unemployment allowances: While some countries might have unemployment benefit programs, it's not a direct provision of most labour laws.
