This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2014 Paper 1 Question Paper (28-Dec-2014)
The correct answer is

(i), (ii), (iii) and (v)

A firm's social responsibility towards its workers covers the obligations that flow directly from the employment relationship: fair reward, development, a fair hearing and a safe, healthy place of work.

(i) Payment of fair wages is the most basic duty, since wages must match the worker's effort, skill and the cost of living. (ii) Arranging proper training and education lets workers improve their skills and earn promotion, so it is a recognised duty. (iii) An efficient grievance handling system gives workers a fair channel for complaints and is a standard obligation of a responsible employer.

(v) Providing the best possible working conditions, such as safety, hygiene, lighting, ventilation and reasonable hours, is equally a direct responsibility towards workers.

(iv) Welfare of family members is not part of the standard list. Such support is a voluntary or community-level welfare measure that goes beyond the employer's direct obligations to the workers themselves, so textbooks place it outside this list.

The correct combination is therefore (i), (ii), (iii) and (v).

Hence, (i), (ii), (iii) and (v).
