Explanation:

Here’s the thing:

- The correct Article is Article 370 (1) (d). This is what gave the President of India the power to apply the Constitution to Jammu and Kashmir with adaptations and exceptions.

- Article 340 (1) (d) is about the appointment of a commission to investigate the conditions of socially and educationally backward classes—not relevant here.

- Article 304 (1) (d) deals with restrictions on trade, commerce and intercourse among states.

- Article 314 (1) (d) was about services under the Union and the States, but it has actually been repealed.

Bottom line: Article 370 (1) (d) is what you’re looking for, and that’s option 4.
