Solution

The correct option is C Maulana Azad
The Indian Constitution adopts universal adult franchise as a basis of elections to the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. The introduction of the universal adult franchise by the Constitution-makers was a bold experiment and highly remarkable in view of the vast size of the country, its huge population, high poverty, social inequality and overwhelming illiteracy. During the formation of the constitution, Maulana Azad argued for the deferment of adult franchise for fifteen years.
