Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Statement (I) is in Article 350A (Part XVII, not Part IV). Statement (II) was moved to Article 21A (Part III) by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002 (Article 45 in Part IV now covers children below the age of six years). Statement (III) substitutes 'political' for 'educational' in Article 46 ('educational and economic interests'). Thus, none of (I), (II), and (III) are mentioned as stated in Part IV.
