The correct answer is C, 61st Amendment.

The 61st Constitutional Amendment Act of 1988 lowered the voting age for elections to the Lok Sabha and the Legislative Assemblies of States from 21 years to 18 years. This amendment is significant as it increased the participation of young people in the democratic process.

The 42nd Amendment (1976) is often called the ‘Mini Constitution’. The 44th Amendment (1978) repealed many of the provisions of the 42nd Amendment. The 73rd Amendment (1992) provided constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions.
