Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 341 and 342.
Articles 341 and 342 of the Constitution of India define who would be Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, respectively, with respect to any State or Union Territory.
Article 341 empowers the President to specify, by public notification and after consultation with the Governor of a state, the castes, races, or tribes to be deemed Scheduled Castes. Similarly, Article 342 allows the President to specify Scheduled Tribes. Parliament retains the power to include or exclude any community from these lists by law.
