Answer 1

Indira Gandhi was reelected for a fourth term as prime minister due to a combination of factors, but primarily due to **war with Pakistan and public outrage at the previous prime minister**. The conflict with Pakistan in 1971 and the resulting victory bolstered her image as a strong leader, while dissatisfaction with her predecessor also played a role in her electoral success. Therefore, the correct response would be:

**war with Pakistan and public outrage at the previous prime minister**.
