a. National Party
b. State Party
c. Political Party
d. Coalition Party

Answer 1

Hint:
Political parties are registered for election purposes by the Electoral Commission and recognised as national or state parties on the basis of their results in the polls.
The other parties are simply declared as parties which are registered-unrecognized.

Complete solution:
 It is possible to identify political parties as state and national parties. As a state party, a party that secures at least 6% of the total votes in an election to a State Legislative Assembly and wins at least two seats is acknowledged. Some examples of State Parties in India are Telugu Desam Party, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress Party.

Recognition of parties defines their right to certain perks, such as the allocation of party flags, the provision of time on television and radio stations for political broadcasts, and access to electoral rolls.
A symbol specifically reserved for its use in the country and the states is allocated to each national party and every state party. In other words, such symbols are defined by the Commission as 'reserved symbols' intended for the candidates set up by the recognised parties.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
A party is also recognised as a state party in a state if it wins 3% of seats in the legislative assembly at a general election to the legislative assembly of the state concerned or 3 seats in the assembly, whichever is more. If it wins 1 seat in the Lok Sabha for every 25 seats or any fraction thereof allotted to the state at a general election to the Lok Sabha from the state concerned, its again recognized as a state party.
