Per NCERT, how does the Indian Constitution provide for CITIZENSHIP?

AIndia has no formal citizenship laws
BPart II (Articles 5-11) of the Constitution lays out citizenship at the commencement; Parliament passed the Citizenship Act, 1955 to govern further acquisition + termination
CCitizenship rules were left for state governments to decide individually
DCitizenship is governed by a single Article of the Constitution and never modified
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.
