Correct Answer:

368

Explanation:

Article 368 confers power to the Parliament to amend the Constitution.

The power to amend the Constitution of India is conferred upon the Parliament by Article 368. This article outlines the procedure for amending various provisions of the Constitution. It specifies that amendments can be made by Parliament through the introduction and passing of a constitutional amendment bill. However, certain parts of the Constitution, such as those dealing with the federal structure, the fundamental rights of citizens, and the powers and composition of the judiciary, require a special procedure for amendment, which involves the approval of at least half of the state legislatures in addition to the Parliament.
