Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The question is about the body responsible for deliberating upon the Constitution of India. To understand the answer, let's delve into some historical context. The Constitution of India, which lays down the framework defining political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions, and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and duties of citizens, was framed and deliberated by a specific assembly. 

The Constituent Assembly of India was an elected body tasked with drafting the Constitution. This assembly was composed of representatives from across the regions and communities within pre-independence India. The drafting process involved detailed discussions and debates among its members over several sessions, leading to the finalization and adoption of the Constitution on November 26, 1949.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is: Constituent Assembly.
