Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: November 26, 1949
Explanation: The correct answer is B. November 26, 1949. The Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949. This historic day is significant because it marked the formal acceptance of the Constitution after nearly three years of intensive drafting, debates, and discussions. Although the Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949, it came into effect on January 26, 1950. The date January 26 was chosen to commemorate the Purna Swaraj Day (Complete Independence Day), which had been celebrated in 1930 as a symbol of India's resolve for full independence from British rule.
