Correct answer

None of the three is a fifth-generation fighter. The Rafale is a 4.5-generation aircraft, the MiG-29 a fourth-generation fighter, and the Tejas Mk-1 a fourth-generation light combat aircraft. Fifth-generation fighters such as the F-22, F-35 and J-20 combine stealth, supercruise and sensor fusion; India's own fifth-generation design, the AMCA, is still in development.
