a. 15
c. 17
b. 16
d. 18

The correct answer is C. 17

Explanation:

Since the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1789 multiple amendments have been added to it. Indeed, in the subsequent years to the constitution, the first ten amendments were added and became the Bill of Rights. But besides this, since the first ten amendments, seventeen amendments have been approved by the requisite number of states and therefore have been added to the Constitution, these amendments address multiple issues including slavery, women suffrage, the abolition of poll taxes. Additionally, over six amendments have been proposed but as they were not ratified by the states they were not added. Considering this, it can be concluded the number of amendments that have been added since the first ten is 17.
