Correct Answer:
B. Article 324
Explanation:
Article 324 of the Indian Constitution establishes the Election Commission as an autonomous body responsible for overseeing the entire electoral process. This mandate includes the preparation of electoral rolls and the management of elections for Parliament, State Legislatures, and the offices of the President and Vice-President. This constitutional provision ensures the independence and impartiality of the commission by vesting it with the powers of superintendence, direction, and control over these national and state-level elections. While State Election Commissions handle local body polls, Article 324 remains the primary authority for maintaining the integrity of India's democratic transitions at the central and state levels.
