Concept:The Third Schedule of the Indian Constitution contains the prescribed forms of oaths and affirmations for various constitutional posts.
Explanation:The Third Schedule provides the exact format of oaths for Union Ministers, Members of Parliament, Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts, and the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
It also includes oaths for State Ministers, Members of State Legislatures, and candidates contesting elections to these bodies.
These oaths bind officials to uphold the sovereignty and integrity of India and to discharge their duties faithfully according to the Constitution.
The schedule allows a person to choose between swearing "in the name of God" or making a solemn affirmation, respecting both religious and non-religious individuals.
The First Schedule lists States and Union Territories, so Option D is not correct.
The Ninth Schedule protects certain laws from judicial review, so Option C is not correct.
The Eleventh Schedule deals with the powers of Panchayats under the 73rd Amendment, so Option A is not correct.
Some oaths lie outside this schedule, such as the President's oath under Article 60, the Vice-President's under Article 69, and the Governor's under Article 159.
Answer:The correct answer is the Third Schedule, which is Option B.
