-

-
none of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Article 58 of the Indian Constitution clearly states that a person must be at least 35 years of age to be eligible for election as President of India. This is higher than the minimum age requirement for Prime Minister (25 years for Lok Sabha membership) or Vice President (35 years). The 30-year age limit applies to Rajya Sabha membership, not the Presidency.
