Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Article 58(1) requires that a candidate for President be a citizen of India, have "completed the age of thirty-five years" and be qualified for election to the Lok Sabha. The minimum age is 25 years for the Lok Sabha and 30 years for the Rajya Sabha (Article 84), so those are lower thresholds than the President's.
