Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes give below the Lists

List I | List II
A.Tenth Schedule | 1. Languages
B.Eighth Schedule | 2. Provisions as to disqualification on the grounds of defection
C.First Schedule | 3. Validation of certain Acts and Regulations
D.Ninth Schedule | 4. The States

The correct answer is Option 2 (A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3). This matching accurately reflects the constitutional allocation of subjects across the Schedules of the Indian Constitution.

• A-2: The Tenth Schedule, added by the 52nd Amendment Act (1985), contains provisions regarding disqualification of members on the ground of defection.
• B-1: The Eighth Schedule lists the 22 official languages recognized by the Constitution.
• C-4: The First Schedule enumerates the States and Union Territories of India and their territorial jurisdictions.
• D-3: The Ninth Schedule, introduced by the 1st Amendment (1951), deals with the validation of certain Acts and Regulations (originally intended to protect land reform laws from judicial review).

Other options are incorrect because they misalign these fundamental constitutional components; for instance, Option 1 incorrectly associates the Tenth Schedule with States and the Eighth with Validation of Acts.
