Answer

The correct mode of citizenship acquisition is registration.
Citizenship by registration is the constitutional mode through which a foreign woman married to a citizen can be granted citizenship upon meeting prescribed ethical and legal requirements.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal context of the scenario
The individual is a foreign national obtaining citizenship specifically through marriage to a male citizen.
Constitutional provisions specify distinct channels for citizenship based on birth, marriage, long residency, or territorial annexation.
2
Differentiate between registration and naturalization
Citizenship by registration is granted to non-citizen women married to citizens, whereas naturalization requires lengthy residence (typically 15 years) and cultural integration.
Registration is the constitutional path for marriage-based citizenship applications.
