-

Article 368
-
D.
Article 395
Correct Answer:
B. Article 370
Explanation:
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution provided special autonomous status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, allowing it to have its own constitution and flag. However, on August 5, 2019, the Government of India revoked this status through a Presidential Order and reorganized the state into the Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh. Other mentioned articles serve different purposes: Article 356 relates to the imposition of President's Rule, Article 368 outlines the procedure for amending the Constitution, and Article 395 dealt with the repeal of the Indian Independence Act of 1947.
