Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1 says the Collector can take possession only after making sure that the full compensation is paid within three months. That’s absolutely required under Section 38.

- Option 2 adds that rehabilitation and resettlement entitlements for those affected have to be paid (or at least tendered) within six months, specifically for the monetary part. That’s also clearly set out in the law.

- Option 3 mentions taking possession just after the initial notification. That’s way too early—both compensation and R&R payments are mandatory steps before possession.

- Option 4 wraps up both Option 1 and 2, meaning all those conditions must be met before the Collector can take the land. The law is very clear—you can’t skip either the compensation or the R&R bit.

Correct Answer: Option 4 (both (a) & (b))
