Solution

The correct option is A 18

A voting age is a minimum age established by law that a person must attain to be eligible to vote in a public election. Typically, the age is set at 18 years. On December 15, 1988 the Lok Sabha passed the Constitution Amendment Bill lowering the voting age to 18 years, which was adopted unanimously. Rajiv Gandhi, the prime minister at the time, said it was an expression of our full faith in the youth of the country.
