B Correct answer
Explanation

Under Section 18 of the Trade Unions Act, 1926, a trade union can contribute to a political party from its common fund only with the consent of its general membership. This ensures democratic control over how union funds are used for political purposes. The option correctly states that contributions require member consent. Contributions cannot be made arbitrarily from common funds without such authorization, nor through separate voluntary subscriptions unless authorized.
