The correct answer is C) the Constitution (35th Amendment) Act, 1974.
The 35th Amendment Act, 1974, amended the Constitution to provide for Sikkim’s association with the Indian Union. It introduced a new Article 2A and the Tenth Schedule to the Constitution, laying down the terms and conditions of Sikkim’s association. This gave Sikkim the status of an ‘Associate State’.
