(A) Majoritarianism
(B) Federal
(C) Unitary government
(D) Community government

Answer 1

Hint: Sri Lanka, officially the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka (previously known as Ceylon), is an island nation in South Asia, situated in the Indian Ocean South-West of the Bay of Bengal and South-East of the Arabian Sea. Sri Lanka has been termed “the pearl of the Indian ocean” for its form and setting.

Complete answer:
Sri Lanka is a democratic nation and a unitary state which is administered by a semi-presidential arrangement, with a combination of a presidential arrangement and a parliamentary arrangement. Sri Lanka is the most archaic democracy in Asia. Most requirements of the constitution can be revised by a two-thirds majority in parliament. The adjustment of some elementary attributes such as the sections on language, religion, and orientation to Sri Lanka as a unitary state necessitates both a two-thirds majority and consent in a countrywide plebiscite. The Constitution of Sri Lanka has been the constitution of the landmass country of Sri Lanka since its initial announcement by the National State Assembly on September 7, 1978. It is Sri Lanka's 2nd republican constitution and its 3rd constitution since the nation's independence (as Ceylon) in 1948. As of October 2020, it has been officially revised twenty times.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: The culture of Sri Lanka is prejudiced principally by Buddhism and Hinduism. Sri Lanka is the home to 2 chief traditional beliefs: The Sinhalese (focussed in Kandy and Anuradhapura) and the Tamil (focussed in Jaffna). Tamils co- survived with the Sinhalese inhabitants since then, and the early fraternization condensed the 2 ethnic groups nearly physically indistinguishable. Primaeval Sri Lanka is noticeable for its prodigy in hydraulic engineering and planning. British colonial culture has also affected the residents. The rich cultural ethnicities imparted by all Sri Lankan cultures is the foundation of the nation's long-life expectancy, progressive health ideals and high literacy
