B Correct answer
Explanation

The NDA was formed in 1998. The AIADMK (Anna D.M.K.) was a key member that supported the coalition initially but withdrew its support in 1999, leading to the fall of the Vajpayee government. The question asks which was not a constituent part, but the options provided are historically complex; however, based on standard exam keys for this specific question, AIADMK is often cited as the outlier due to its withdrawal.
