The correct answer is: C. 1980.

The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Act was enacted in 1980. It was passed by the Parliament of India and came into effect on 1 April 1981. The Act provides for the establishment of a Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) for the administration of the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir. The LAHDC is a statutory body with its own elected representatives. It has jurisdiction over a wide range of subjects, including education, health, agriculture, and rural development.

The Act was enacted in response to the demand for greater autonomy by the people of Ladakh. The Act has been successful in providing a measure of self-governance to the people of Ladakh. However, there are some who feel that the Act does not go far enough and that the people of Ladakh should have even greater autonomy.

Option B is incorrect because the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Act was not enacted in 1965. Option D is incorrect because the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Act was not enacted in 1995.
