Correct Answer:

Explanation:
The Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists the official languages recognized by the Government of India. While the Constitution initially included 14 languages in 1950, subsequent amendments have expanded this list to 22. These languages include Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Dogri, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. Inclusion in this schedule provides administrative recognition, facilitates the use of the language in official communications, and allows it to be used in competitive public service examinations. Based on the list provided in the table, the 8th Schedule is the correct constitutional provision containing these recognized languages.
