Do I need NARIC certification when I have a UK Master Degree

[seriously.wicked]

Hi,
I am trying to qualify for UK Knowledge of language/life in the UK.

I have given and passed life in UK test in 2011 but I am not clear how to pass Knowledge of language as criteria seems to have changed since I applied for ILR.

So my first question is : Do I need NARIC certification when I have a Master Degree from UK University?

Also what option do I select in the form from these options? None of them seems right to me.

I have a speaking and listening qualification in English at B1 CEFR or higher, or an
equivalent level qualification (Go to question 1.23)
Or
I have obtained an academic qualification deemed by UK NARIC to meet the recognised
standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the United Kingdom and:
i. UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English; or
ii. the qualification was taught or researched in the UK or a majority English speaking country
(other than Canada);
Or
I am a national of a majority English speaking country;
Or
I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after
28th October 2013;
Or
Form AN Application form (version 04/15) Page 7 of 31
I wish to claim exemption on the basis of my physical or mental condition (physical and/
or mental illness may not lead automatically to exemption. You should provide reasons

exemption are provided).
Further guidance about the knowledge of language and life in the UK requirement can be found
in the Guide and Booklet AN that accompanies this form. Additional information can also be
found on our website.

equivalent level qualification, is it:
A test that is on the Home Office list of approved tests go to question 1.24
A test that is on the Ofqual register or awarded by the
Scottish Qualifications Authority
go to question 1.27
1.24 When did you sit your English language test?
On or after 6 April 2015 go to question 1.25
Before 6 April 2015 go to question 1.26

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
Do I need a print out of PBC ( showing my Degree points) like other have pointed out or just the attachment of degree will do?
