पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B ((b) only).

Key Points:
• Special Provisions for Jammu & Kashmir (Historic Article 370 - as of 2018):
• Statement (a) is INCORRECT: In subjects specified in the Instrument of Accession (Defence, External Affairs, Communications), only consultation with the State Government was required, not "concurrence" for all laws.
• Statement (b) is CORRECT: Under the proviso to Article 3 as applied to J&K, no Bill providing for increasing or diminishing the area of the State of Jammu and Kashmir or altering the name or boundary of that State could be introduced in Parliament without the consent of the Legislature of that State.
• Statement (c) is INCORRECT: Part IV (Directive Principles) and Part IVA (Fundamental Duties) were NOT applicable to the State of Jammu and Kashmir under the Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954.
• Key Takeaway: Under historic Art 370 rules, Parliament could not alter J&K's boundaries without its state legislature's consent; Parts IV & IVA did not apply.
