Explanation:

Let’s break it down:

- Option 1: Survival of the declarant

If the person who made the statement doesn’t actually die, it’s not a dying declaration. That’s the law—this makes it inadmissible.

- Option 2: The Dying Declaration being made after considerable delay

Just because there’s a delay doesn’t automatically make it inadmissible. Courts look at why there was a delay, but the declaration can still be used as evidence.

- Option 3: The Dying Declaration not made in a lighted place

The lighting or setting isn’t a mandatory condition for admissibility. What matters is the credibility and voluntariness of the statement, not the lighting.

- Option 4: All the above

Here’s the thing—only the first option always makes the dying declaration inadmissible. The other two are not, by themselves, reasons for inadmissibility.

So, the correct answer is Option 1: Survival of the declarant.
