Solution

The correct option is A Special Majority with consent from half of the states of India
Certain parts of the constitution can be amended by special majority along with consent from half of the states of India. This method is harder compared to the other two methods viz Simple and Special Majority. By this method, the election of the President of India, distribution of powers between the Centre and the State and other sections can be amended. This method can also be used as per article 61 for the impeachment of the President.
