D Correct answer
Explanation

Section 2(oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act defines retrenchment but specifically EXCLUDES (i) voluntary retirement, (ii) retirement on reaching superannuation, or (iii) termination as disciplinary measure. The question asks what 'doesn't include,' so the correct answer lists what is EXCLUDED from the definition. Both 'termination of service' as disciplinary punishment and voluntary retirements are specifically carved out from retrenchment definition.
