Explanation

The 96th Constitutional Amendment (2003) dealt with freezing the delimitation of constituencies until after the first census after 2026, effectively maintaining constituencies based on the 2001 census. This was done to encourage population control measures by states. Option A refers to service tax (not relevant to this amendment). Option C refers to the 108th Amendment (Women's Reservation Bill which was lapsed). This amendment specifically halted constituency readjustment based on future population growth.
