The correct option is D.

Article 368 of the Constitution of India outlines the power of Parliament to amend the Constitution. The process of amendment essentially involves making changes to the existing text of the Constitution. This can be done by adding new provisions (Addition), changing existing provisions (Variation), or removing existing provisions (Repeal). The term ‘amend’ in a legal context encompasses all these actions.

Article 368 describes different procedures for amendment, ranging from simple majority (for certain provisions, though this is often considered outside the scope of Article 368’s formal procedure) to special majority in Parliament (two-thirds of members present and voting and majority of total membership) and special majority along with ratification by half of the state legislatures, depending on the nature of the provision being amended.
