1. A

   2 1 3 4

   Option (a) pairs the 42nd Amendment with 2011, which is incorrect because the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act was enacted much earlier in 1976.

2. B

   4 3 2 1

   Option (b) starts the sequence with 2002 for the 42nd Amendment, failing to match the correct historical timeline of Indian constitutional amendments.

3. C

   1 2 3 4

   Option (c) incorrectly assigns the year 1985 to the 42nd Amendment, disrupting the proper chronological matching of all subsequent amendments.

4. D

   3 1 4 2

   Option (d) correctly matches the 42nd Amendment with 1976 (known as the Mini Constitution), the 52nd Amendment with 1985 (Anti-Defection Law), the 86th Amendment with 2002 (Right to Education), and the 96th Amendment with 2011 (substitution of 'Odia' for 'Oriya'), making this the only correct option among the given choices.

Summary. Official key is (d) matching the constitutional amendments with their respective years of implementation. The 42nd Amendment was enacted in 1976, the 52nd Amendment in 1985, the 86th Amendment in 2002, and the 96th Amendment in 2011. Aspirants often confuse the years of the 86th and 96th amendments. Only option (d) aligns every amendment with its exact historical enactment year without any mismatch.
