Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: The Indian Constitution is organized into specific parts, each dealing with a particular subject matter. Amendments often add new parts with suffixes like 'A' or 'B'.

Step 1: Evaluating Administrative and Electoral Parts (A and B).

• A. Tribunals: These were added to Part XIV-A (Articles 323A and 323B) by the 42nd Amendment. Part XIV itself deals with "Services under the Union and States."
• B. Elections: This subject is contained in Part XV (Articles 324 to 329), not Part XIV-A.

Step 2: Evaluating Governance Structures (C, D, and E).

• C. Emergency Provisions: Correctly matched to Part XVIII (Articles 352 to 360).
• D. Co-operative Societies: Correctly matched to Part IX-B (Articles 243ZH to 243ZT).
• E. Panchayats: These are in Part IX. Part IX-A actually deals with "The Municipalities."

Step 3: Conclusion.
Based on the constitutional text, only pairs C and D are accurately identified with their respective Parts.
