The correct answer is A. 25 years.

The minimum age to be a member of the Legislative Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir is 25 years. This is the same as the minimum age to be a member of the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha.

The Constitution of India, Article 84, states that:

“No person shall be qualified to be a member of the Legislative Assembly of a State unless he–

(a) is a citizen of India;

(b) has completed the age of twenty-five years;

(c) is, and has been for not less than two years immediately preceding his election, a resident of that State;

(d) is not so disqualified by or under any law made by Parliament.”

The Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, Article 173, states that:

“No person shall be qualified to be a member of the Legislative Assembly unless he–

(a) is a citizen of India;

(b) has completed the age of twenty-five years;

(c) is, and has been for not less than two years immediately preceding his election, a resident of the State;

(d) is not so disqualified by or under any law made by the Legislature of the State.”

The minimum age to be a member of the Legislative Assembly of Jammu and Kashmir is therefore 25 years.
