Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Article 71.
Article 71 of the Indian Constitution explicitly states that "All doubts and disputes arising out of or in connection with the election of a President or Vice-President shall be inquired into and decided by the Supreme Court, whose decision shall be final." This grants the Supreme Court exclusive and final jurisdiction over any electoral disputes concerning these two highest offices, ensuring their legitimacy and preventing prolonged political uncertainty.
