Correct Answer:
A. 31 December 2014
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option A: 31 December 2014.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) of 2019 established a specific cut-off date of December 31, 2014, for eligibility. This legislation provides an accelerated pathway to Indian citizenship for individuals from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian communities who fled religious persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Bangladesh. To qualify under this act, applicants must have entered India on or before this designated date. By meeting this requirement, eligible migrants are no longer treated as illegal immigrants and can apply for naturalization with a reduced residency requirement of five years instead of the standard eleven.
