Hint: The Constitution comprises the basic principles of the political system by which the people of the nation are to be governed. The Indian Constitution is made to give everyone equal rights and empowers every citizen to rise to his/her optimum level.

Complete answer:
The Constitutional Assembly had its first session on 9th December 1946. Dr.Sachidanand Sinha was the President of the Constituent Assembly presided over the first meeting. Dr.Rajendra Prasad became the president of the constituent assembly. After Indian Independence, he also became the first president of the Indian Republic.
The work of drafting the Constitution was given to the Drafting Committee by the Constituent Assembly. Dr.Ambedkar wrote the Constitution of India, under his chairmanship the Constitution Assembly made the Drafting Committee.
The Constitution is said to be flexible or rigid based on the amendments, if a constitution can be easily amended then it is called a flexible Constitution. If the amendments have any difficulties in passing then it is called a Rigid Constitution. To pass a bill, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, these two houses must approve the bill. Only after passing the bill by both houses in the parliament, the president can give his assent.
Our Indian Constitution is not flexible and also it is not rigid, because only under Article 368 the procedure of amendments can be passed.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Note: The Indian Constitution is secure in nature and it also influences other constitutions, they are the United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Australia, France, Canada, Soviet Union, Weimar Republic, South Africa, and Japan.
