Explanation:

- The admissibility of a Dying Declaration is indeed based on two key principles:

- Principle of Necessity: This is because the person who made the statement is no longer alive to testify in court, making their statement an exception to hearsay.

- Maxim "Nemo Moriturus Praesumitur Mentiri": This Latin phrase means "a man will not meet his maker with a lie in his mouth," implying a dying person is unlikely to lie before death.

- So, both these principles support the admission of dying declarations as evidence.

- Option 1 refers to necessity, Option 2 to the maxim, and Option 3 rightly includes both.
