The correct answer is D) The unquestioned right of the Parliament to amend any part of the Constitution.
The âunquestioned right of the Parliament to amend any part of the Constitutionâ is NOT a basic feature. In fact, the doctrine of âBasic Structureâ of the Constitution, propounded by the Supreme Court in the Kesavananda Bharati case (1973), established that Parliament has the power to amend the Constitution, but it cannot alter or destroy the basic structure of the Constitution.
