Explanation

The 104th Constitution Amendment Bill, which became the 93rd Constitutional Amendment Act of 2005, added clause 5 to Article 15 of the Indian Constitution. This amendment empowered the government to make special provisions, including reservation of seats, for socially and educationally backward classes, Scheduled Castes, and Scheduled Tribes in admission to educational institutions. This includes both aided and unaided private institutions, with the exception of minority educational institutions. Option C is correct because it identifies this specific provision for private educational institutions.
