The correct answer is Acquire property.

Key Points

  • Indian citizenship can be acquired through birth, as per the Citizenship Act, 1955.
  • Citizenship can also be attained by descent, which applies to individuals born outside India to Indian parents.
  • Naturalisation is a process where a foreign national residing in India for a specified period can apply for citizenship.
  • Acquiring property in India is not a valid condition for obtaining Indian citizenship.
