Explanation
- A
III, II, I, IV
Option (a) proposes the sequence III, II, I, IV, beginning with the date of commencement of the Constitution. This reverses the entire chronological timeline by placing the final event at the very beginning.
- B
IV, I, III, II
Option (b) proposes the sequence IV, I, III, II, placing the commencement of the Constitution before its adoption and enactment. This violates the logical and historical sequence where adoption precedes enforcement.
- C
I, II, IV, III
Option (c) proposes the sequence I, II, IV, III, starting with the appointment of the Drafting Committee. However, the Constituent Assembly first met prior to the formation of the Drafting Committee, making this order incorrect.
- D
IV, I, II, III
is (d) because the events occur in the correct chronological order starting with the Constituent Assembly's first meeting on December 9, 1946 (IV), followed by the appointment of the Drafting Committee on August 29, 1947 (I), the adoption and enactment of the Constitution on November 26, 1949 (II), and finally the date of commencement of the Constitution on January 26, 1950 (III). This option accurately captures the historical progression from the inception of the assembly to the operationalization of the republic.
Summary. Official key is (d) as it correctly orders the historical milestones of India's constitutional development. The Constituent Assembly first met on December 9, 1946, establishing the foundational body. Subsequently, the Drafting Committee was appointed on August 29, 1947, to prepare the draft constitution. The assembly then adopted and enacted the Constitution on November 26, 1949, before it officially came into force on January 26, 1950. Thus, option (d) correctly arranges the events as IV, I, II, III.
