{'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'power': [24, 3, 21, 61], 'articles': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct answer is option 1, Article 368. Article 368 of the Constitution of India provides the amending power of the Parliament. This article lays down the procedure for amending the constitution. It states that Parliament can amend any part of the constitution including the provisions relating to the amendment itself.

Option 2, Article 360, is incorrect. Article 360 deals with provisions for financial emergencies and empowers the President of India to declare a financial emergency if the financial stability or credit of India is threatened.

Option 3, Article 13(2), is also incorrect. Article 13(2) provides for the doctrine of legislative supremacy and states that any law that violates the fundamental rights of an individual shall be void to the extent of the inconsistency.

Option 4, Article 370, is also incorrect. Article 370 grants special autonomous status to the region of Jammu and Kashmir within the Indian Union. It does not pertain to the amending power of the Parliament.

In conclusion, option 1, Article 368, is the correct article of the Constitution of India that sets forth the amending power of the Parliament.
