{'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'citizenship': [2, 0, 2, 2], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'laws': [8, 0, 6, 31], 'power': [24, 3, 21, 61], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'article': [54, 1, 15, 30]}

The correct answer is option 4: Article 11. Article 11 of the Constitution of India gives the Parliament the power to make laws regarding citizenship. This article empowers the Parliament to regulate matters pertaining to the acquisition and termination of Indian citizenship. It allows for the enactment of laws that determine the conditions under which a person can become a citizen of India or cease to be a citizen. This includes provisions related to the rights and responsibilities of citizens, as well as rules concerning the granting of citizenship to foreigners or those of Indian origin. It is important to note that while the Parliament has the power to make laws in this regard, any such law enacted must not violate the fundamental rights guaranteed to citizens by the Constitution.
