Option 1 : A, B and C 

Marginalized groups and communities are those who experienced discrimination and exclusion (social, political and economic) because of unequal power relationships across economic, political, social and cultural dimensions.

• In India, the women, children, scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, persons with disabilities, migrants and aged are regarded as marginalised or vulnerable groups.
