D .  398
Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 448 articles in 22 parts, 12 schedules and 100 amendments.
Although the last article of the Constitution is Article 395, the total number, as of March 2012 is 448. New articles added through amendments have been inserted in the relevant location in the original constitution. In order not to disturb the original numbering, the news articles are inserted with alpha numeric enumerations.
For example, Article 21A pertaining to Right to Education was inserted by the 86th Amendment Act.
