D. Article 324
💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 312 of the Indian Constitution empowers Parliament to create one or more All-India Services common to both the Union and the States, provided the Rajya Sabha passes a resolution supported by at least two-thirds of the members present and voting. This provision highlights the federal flexibility granted to the upper house in administrative matters. Articles like 324 relate to the Election Commission rather than civil services. Constitutional articles governing administrative structures are essential for Indian polity preparation.
