Accepted Answer

The correct answer is D because according to Article 368 of the Indian Constitution, an amendment can only be initiated by the introduction of a Bill for the purpose in either House of Parliament, which means the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. State Legislatures have no power to initiate a constitutional amendment; they can only ratify certain amendments if required. The President cannot initiate an amendment but gives assent to the Bill after it is passed by both Houses. Therefore, only statements I and II are correct.
