Solution

The correct options are
B Marked the end of the Congress system.
D A coalition government was formed by Janata Dal.
In the 1989 General Elections, Congress bagged the highest number of seats in the Lok Sabha, but the numbers were not enough for it to form a government of its own. Thus, the elections of 1989 marked the end of what political scientists called the ‘Congress system’.
