Solution

The correct option is B Amended
The Indian Constitution is called a living document because it can be amended or changed. Our Constitution accepts the necessity of modifications according to changing needs of the society. Secondly, in the actual working of the Constitution, there has been enough flexibility of interpretations. The Constitution is an instrument that societies create for themselves. Thus, both political practice and judicial rulings have shown maturity and flexibility in implementing the Constitution.
