Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Article 371B of the Constitution of India contains special provisions for the State of Assam [1]. Inserted by the 22nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1969, it empowers the President to provide for the constitution and functions of a committee of the Assam Legislative Assembly. This committee consists of members elected from the tribal areas specified in the Sixth Schedule and other members as specified by the President. In contrast, Article 371A provides special status to Nagaland, protecting Naga customary law and land ownership [3]. Article 371C deals with Manipur, involving a committee for hill areas [5]. Article 371D provides special provisions for Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regarding public employment and education [5]. Therefore, Article 371B is the specific provision dedicated to Assam.
