Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Constitutional Amendments are used to modify provisions of the Constitution of India. Different amendments are associated with important political and social reforms.

Step 1: Match the 52nd Constitutional Amendment. The: \[ 52^\text{nd} \text{ Constitutional Amendment Act, 1985} \] introduced: \[ \text{Anti-defection laws} \] through the Tenth Schedule. Thus: \[ A \rightarrow I \]

Step 2: Match the 61st Constitutional Amendment. The: \[ 61^\text{st} \text{ Constitutional Amendment Act, 1988} \] reduced the voting age from: \[ 21 \text{ years to } 18 \text{ years} \] Thus: \[ B \rightarrow IV \]

Step 3: Match the 86th Constitutional Amendment. The: \[ 86^\text{th} \text{ Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002} \] introduced: \[ \text{Right to Education} \] under Article 21A. Thus: \[ C \rightarrow II \]

Step 4: Match the 94th Constitutional Amendment. The: \[ 94^\text{th} \text{ Constitutional Amendment Act} \] related to provisions regarding: \[ \text{Minister of Tribal Welfare in Jharkhand} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Write the complete matching. The correct sequence becomes: \[ A-I,\; B-IV,\; C-II,\; D-III \]

Step 6: Conclusion. Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{A\text{-}I,\; B\text{-}IV,\; C\text{-}II,\; D\text{-}III} \]
