Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Economic Weaker Sections (EWS) reservation in India was introduced by the 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019. The amendment provided for a 10% reservation in government jobs and educational institutions for individuals from the economically weaker sections of society, outside the existing reservation for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Other Backward Classes (OBC).
Thus, the correct answer is 103rd Amendment.
