To be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court, a person must be a citizen of India and either served as a High Court judge for at least 5 years, an advocate for 10 years, or be a distinguished jurist in the opinion of the President.

The Constitution does not prescribe a minimum age requirement for this office.
Article 124(3) of the Indian Constitution
No minimum age is prescribed by the Constitution for appointment as a Supreme Court judge.
A distinguished jurist is a category included in the Constitution, though it has rarely been invoked in practice.
The appointment process for Supreme Court judges is governed by the Collegium System, established through judicial precedents.
The 10-year experience as an advocate can be in one High Court or two or more such courts in succession.
The 5-year experience as a High Court judge can similarly be in one or more High Courts.
Statement 4 is incorrect because there is no constitutional minimum age limit for Supreme Court judges, unlike the 35-year limit for the offices of the President, Vice-President, or Governor.
The retirement age for Supreme Court judges is 65 years, as specified in Article 124(2).
B is correct тАФ It correctly includes citizenship, professional experience requirements, and the distinguished jurist clause while excluding the non-existent minimum age requirement.
When studying judicial qualifications, contrast them with the qualifications for the President (Article 58), which explicitly requires a minimum age of 35, unlike the Supreme Court Judiciary where only a retirement age is set.
