Correct Answer:
B. 97th Amendment
Explanation:
The 97th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2011 introduced several key changes to the Indian Constitution to empower and protect cooperative societies. First, it amended Article 19(1)(c) to make the right to form cooperative societies a Fundamental Right. Second, it added Article 43B as a Directive Principle of State Policy, requiring the State to encourage the professional and democratic management of these societies. Finally, it inserted Part IXB (Articles 243ZH to 243ZT), which provides a comprehensive framework for their incorporation and regulation. While other amendments mentioned, such as the 86th, 101st, and 104th, addressed education, GST, and seat reservations respectively, the 97th Amendment is specifically responsible for granting constitutional status to cooperative societies.
