D. Permanently segregate them from the society.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

A, B only

B, C only

A, C only

C, D only

Correct Answer:

A, C only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → A, C only

A. Seats in legislature and jobs in government offices be reserved for the lowest caste. (This recommendation was related to the provision of affirmative action and reserved seats for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.)

B. Separate electorates for Depressed Classes. (This recommendation was proposed but later dropped in favor of reserved seats in legislatures.)

C. Hindu temples be thrown open to all castes. (This recommendation was related to ending discrimination in access to places of worship.)

D. Permanently segregate them from the society. (This was not a recommendation of the Constituent Assembly, and in fact, the Constitution of India seeks to promote social justice and equality, rather than permanent segregation.)

So, the correct option is [3].
