The correct answer is option 4, the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution of India. The Tenth Schedule is also known as the Anti-Defection Act. This schedule was added to the Constitution in 1985 and contains provisions that address the issue of defection or changing political parties by elected representatives. It aims to curb political defections and promote stability in the Indian political system.

Option 1, the Second Schedule, does not contain provisions regarding the anti-defection Act. The Second Schedule mainly deals with the salaries and allowances of the President, Vice President, Governors, and Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts.

Option 2, the Fifth Schedule, deals with the administration and control of Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes in certain states.

Option 3, the Eighth Schedule, lists the official languages recognized by the Indian Constitution.

Therefore, the Tenth Schedule is the correct choice for provisions regarding the anti-defection Act.
