Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (B) and (C) only

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (C) only

(D) Training reduces absenteeism and employee turnover. This is primarily a benefit for the organization and not for the employees. 

The question specifically asks for benefits of training and development for employees, whereas statement (D) — reduction in absenteeism and employee turnover — is primarily a benefit to the organisation, not directly to the individual employee. As per the NCERT, reduction in absenteeism and turnover is discussed under organisational benefits, while employee benefits include improved skills, higher earnings, and increased satisfaction and morale.
