Solution

The correct option is D January 26, 1950

Republic Day honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act in 1935 as the governing document of India. The Constitution was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came into effect on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system, completing the country's transition towards becoming an independent republic. 26 January was chosen as the Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 when Declaration of Indian Independence known as Purna Swaraj was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress as opposed to the Dominion status offered by British Regime.
