Answer 1

Hint:India is a statutory democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold steady, free, and fair elections. And the Presidency and vice-presidency.

Complete answer:
The Lok Sabha the Lower house of the Indian Parliament comprising the elected representatives and the Vidhan Sabha in the state legislative gathering comprising the legislatures elected by the voters. Elections for Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha are ordinarily held after every five years.

However, if the ruling party throws away the majority, the President dissolves the House and invites fresh elections. Likewise, if the state government throws away the majority, the Governor dissolves the state gathering and invites fresh polls.

The size and shape of the parliamentary constituencies are determined by a free Delimitation Commission, which targets to Build constituencies that have nearly the same population, subject to geographic considerations and the border of the states and administrative areas. The Bharatiya Janata Party having 302 Members is the largest party in the Seventeenth Lok Sabha.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: The democratic method in India is based on the principle of the universal major franchise; that any citizen over the age of 18 can vote in an election (before 1989 the age limit was 21). The right to vote is categorical of caste, cult, religion, or gender.
