{'eminent jurist': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'essential qualification': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'judge': [6, 1, 14, 17], 'appointment': [7, 1, 5, 11], 'more high courts': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'advocate': [5, 0, 0, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'citizen': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'age': [2, 1, 1, 2]}

Option 1 states that the person should be a citizen of India. This means that only Indian citizens are eligible for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India.

Option 2 states that the person should be at least 35 years of age. This means that there is a minimum age requirement for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India.

Option 3 states that the person should have practiced as an advocate in one or more High Courts for at least 10 years. This means that the person should have sufficient legal experience before being eligible for appointment as a Judge.

Option 4 states that the person should be an eminent jurist. This means that the person should be highly regarded and respected in the field of law.

The correct answer is option 2 because it states a requirement that is not necessary to become a Judge of the Supreme Court of India. There is no age restriction mentioned in the Indian Constitution for appointment to the Supreme Court. Candidates of any age can be considered for this position.
