Answer 1

The correct option is A To cope up with changing socio-political need of the Indian society

The constitution of India was adopted on 26th November, 1949. It contained eight schedules and 395 articles. So far, four more schedules were added, and the total stands at twelve now. To cater the socio-political need of the Indian society, various new laws were removed and added and thus the schedules as well.
