Show answer
Answer: D. Article 368(1) says Parliament may, in exercise of its constituent power, amend by way of addition, variation or repeal any provision of the Constitution, following the procedure in that Article. So all three: addition, variation and repeal.
Watch for: Students think 'repeal' is too drastic to be allowed, but the text of Article 368(1) lists it; limits come from the basic structure doctrine, not the wording.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because repeal is also included in Article 368(1).
- B. Wrong because addition is also included in Article 368(1).
- C. Wrong because variation is also included in Article 368(1).
