Correct Answer:
C. Asif Ali Zardari
Asif Ali Zardari was the President of Pakistan when the landmark 18th Constitutional Amendment was passed in 2010. This amendment was a significant legislative achievement, restoring the 1973 Constitution to its original parliamentary form, curtailing presidential powers, and removing the president's authority to unilaterally dissolve parliament. Option A (Mamnoon Hussain) became President much later (2013-2018). Option B (Pervez Musharraf) was President before Zardari, resigning in 2008. Option D (Arif Alvi) became President even later (2018-present). Thus, Asif Ali Zardari was the head of state during this crucial constitutional reform.
