Correct answer: (C) 1, 3, 4 and 5 only — The answer is 1, 3, 4 and 5.
Explanation
★The answer is 1, 3, 4 and 5.

★It can take the form of a causal relation, which is item 3.
★It can be a species-genus relation, which is item 4.
★It can be a member-class relation, which is item 5.
★It is not merely a contingent relation, so item 2 is excluded.
