The correct answer is B) Article 370.

Prior to its abrogation in August 2019, Article 370 of the Constitution of India granted special autonomous status to Jammu and Kashmir. It stipulated that most Articles of the Constitution that apply to other states did not apply to J&K, or applied with modifications and exceptions, as per the “Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order”.

Article 238 was repealed by the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956, and dealt with states in Part B of the First Schedule. Article 371 and its subsequent clauses (371A to 371J) provide special provisions for several other states of India, but not Jammu and Kashmir. Article 371G specifically relates to Mizoram.
