Solution

The correct option is C An executive order.
Explanation:

The Supreme Court in 1969 ruled that settlement of a boundary dispute between India and another country does not require a constitutional amendment. It can be done by executive order itself, as it does not involve the cession of Indian territory to a foreign country.
