In the study of jurisprudence, which of the following is a primary source of law in India?

- BA textbook written by a eminent jurist
- CAn opinion article in a newspaper

Explanation
Primary sources are those that are binding and directly create law, such as the Constitution, statutes, and delegated legislation. Textbooks, articles and commentaries only explain or analyse the law and are secondary sources, so they are not binding.
