370, 40 A
375, 35 A
370, 35 A
None of these

The correct answer is C. Article 370 of the Constitution grants special status to Jammu and Kashmir and Article 35A provides the special rights and privileges to the permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir.

Article 370 of the Constitution of India is a provision that grants special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was incorporated into the Constitution on 26 November 1949, with the Instrument of Accession signed by Maharaja Hari Singh of Jammu and Kashmir. The article allows the state to have its own constitution, flag, and a separate judiciary. It also prohibits non-permanent residents from owning land or property in the state.

Article 35A of the Constitution of India is a provision that provides special rights and privileges to the permanent residents of Jammu and Kashmir. It was added to the Constitution in 1954, through an amendment. The article prohibits non-permanent residents from acquiring immovable property in the state, holding government jobs, and getting scholarships and other benefits.

The special status of Jammu and Kashmir has been a matter of debate for many years. Some people believe that it is necessary to protect the unique culture and identity of the state, while others believe that it is discriminatory and should be abolished. The debate is likely to continue for many years to come.
