    A Article 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Article 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Article 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Article 3 of the Indian Constitution grants Parliament the power to form new states, alter boundaries, or rename existing states through legislation, reflecting the dynamic administrative needs of the country. This process involves the President seeking the opinion of the affected state's legislature, although such an opinion is not binding on Parliament. The flexibility provided by Article 3 is fundamental in accommodating the political, economic, and social demands of India's diverse population.
