Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Part II (Articles 5-11) of the Constitution lays out citizenship at the commencement; Parliament passed the Citizenship Act, 1955 to govern further acquisition + termination
Part II + Citizenship Act 1955 is the correct framework (per NCERT). The other options misstate the constitutional design.
