  2. BAmbulance room, since more than 250 workers are employed
  3. CWelfare officer only if the mine employs more than 500 workers
  4. DTemporary living accommodation free of charge for all mine workers

Explanation

Section 24(2)(iv) allows prescribing a welfare officer in every factory, mine or plantation with two hundred and fifty or more workers; 260 meets this. The ambulance room needs more than 500 workers. The 500 figure is not the welfare officer threshold. Free temporary accommodation is tied to building workers, not mines.
