Hint:We will begin with a description of the chamber of parliament.The Lok Sabha is more powerful of the two houses of Parliament with regards to financial matters as a money bill can be tabled only in Lok Sabha. Thus it controls the finances of the government.

Complete answer:
The members of Lok Sabha constitute a member elected by universal adult franchise( according to which all the citizen who are eighteen years or above in age can cast vote and choose their representative) if one party gets the majority then the leader of parties elected as prime Minister.Prime Minister is the leader of the Coalition which has a majority in Lok Sabha.The Lok Sabha is the most powerful of the two houses with regards to the Council of Ministers because they take all the important decisions of the country under the leadership of prime minister .The quorum is the minimum number of members required to be present before a meeting is allowed to begin. A quorum constitutes the meeting of house is one tenth of the total number of members including the speaker of the person who presides over the meeting that at least fifty five members should be present at the beginning of sitting each day.
In Lok Sabha total five hundred fifty two members can be present. Five hundred fifty members are elected representatives and two were nominated. Five hundred thirty are elected from state and twenty can be elected from union territories.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note:Lok Sabha occupies central position in Indian polity. Lok sabha is composed of directly elected representatives on the basis of universal adult franchise.
