Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The Anti‑Defection provisions are contained in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution, which was introduced by the 52nd Amendment to address disqualification of members of Parliament and state legislatures on grounds of defection. Authoritative descriptions of the Act note that the Tenth Schedule specifically sets out the procedures and grounds for disqualification for voluntarily giving up party membership or voting against party directives, thereby formalizing the Anti‑Defection Law within the constitutional framework [1]. Constitutional amendment summaries also record that the 52nd Amendment added a new Tenth Schedule to provide these detailed disqualification rules, commonly referred to as the Anti‑Defection Law [2].
