Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Constitution of India was adopted on November 26, 1949. While the majority of its provisions came into force on January 26, 1950, certain specific articles were given immediate effect from the date of adoption [4]. These included provisions relating to citizenship (Articles 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9), elections (Article 324), and the Provisional Parliament (Articles 379, 380, 388, etc.) [5]. Additionally, temporary and transitional provisions, as well as the short title (Article 393), became operative on this date [3]. Fundamental Rights, however, were not among the provisions given immediate effect; they became operative on the official date of commencement, January 26, 1950 [2]. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, while statement 4 is incorrect, making option 2 the right choice.
