The correct answer is: 5.
The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019, provides that if women are not adequately represented in the Legislative Assembly of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor may nominate not more than five women to the Assembly.
The Act defines “adequate representation” as meaning that women should constitute not less than 33% of the total number of seats in the Assembly.
The Act also provides that the Lieutenant Governor shall nominate women from amongst those who are not members of any political party.
The Act was passed by the Parliament of India on August 5, 2019, and came into force on October 31, 2019.
The Act has been criticized by some people who argue that it is undemocratic to have women nominated to the Assembly rather than elected. However, others argue that the Act is necessary to ensure that women are adequately represented in the Assembly.
The Act is a significant step forward in the fight for gender equality in Jammu and Kashmir. It is hoped that the Act will help to increase the participation of women in the political process and to improve the lives of women in the Union Territory.
The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the provisions of the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019.
