Statement: Sociologists and political observers are of the opinion that making education qualification mandatory for election candidates would be discriminatory since that would naturally deprive citizens of India the right to represent their people.

Which of the following can be concluded from the above statement? (a) To implement the guidelines, the government must set up more speedy trial courts, which will help them deliver justice in time. (b) The steps taken by the apex court will help choose the best people from their constituency and make the Indian democratic system free from criminalization. (c) This will help in reducing the scourge of criminalization of politics. (d) The latest order will help address this problem by empowering the trial court to refuse routine adjournments.
