    D.

    July 2018

    Correct option is B

    Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated on August 5, 2019. This action effectively revoked the special privileges and autonomy that the state of Jammu and Kashmir had under the Constitution of India. The government passed a presidential order and a resolution in Parliament, leading to the reorganization of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories—Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.

    Information Booster : 

    ​Article 370: This article granted Jammu and Kashmir autonomy in all matters except defense, foreign affairs, finance, and communications. It also allowed the state to have its own constitution.

    Reorganization Act 2019: After the abrogation, Jammu and Kashmir was bifurcated into two Union Territories—Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

    International Reactions: The abrogation of Article 370 sparked significant political and legal debates both within India and internationally, particularly concerning the region’s status.

    Impact: The abrogation led to changes in the legal status, land ownership, and employment rights of people in Jammu and Kashmir.
