Solution

The correct option is A Shall give his assent
The Constitution amendment bill can be introduced either by a minister or by a private member and does not require prior permission of president. Each house must pass the bill separately. Once the bill is passed by both the Houses of Parliament and ratified by the state legislatures where necessary, the bill is presented to the President for his assent. The President must give his assent to the bill. He can neither withhold his assent to the bill nor return the bill for reconsideration of Parliament.
