Option A.

Explanation:

Allow future generations to adapt the Constitution to the needs of

the time is the right answer.

The framers of the Constitution added a process of amendment principally to enable future generations to modify the Constitution according to the needs of the time.

In this context, an amendment can be introduced by the constitutional convention or by the Congress with a two-thirds of the majority vote in both the Houses.
