Explanation

According to Article 217 of the Constitution, a person must be either a citizen of India who has held judicial office for at least 10 years, or has been an advocate of a High Court for at least 10 years. Both qualifications independently make a person eligible - they are alternatives, not cumulative requirements. Option C correctly states that either qualification suffices.
