• B. $26^{\text{th}}$ November 1949

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Preamble of the Indian Constitution states it was adopted on 26th November 1949 by the Constituent Assembly, though it came into effect on 26th January 1950 (Republic Day). Thus, the correct answer is: \[ {\text{26^{\text{th}} November 1949}} \]
