Answer 1

The correct option is C Women’s Reservation Bill

The Women's Reservation Bill was introduced in the Indian Parliament in 2008. It is still pending in the parliament. It proposed to reserve one-third of all seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies. The bill's main purpose was political inclusion of women in Indian political institutions. India needs more women parliamentarians to focus its attention to women-centric issues.
