Answer 1

Hint:The First Lok Sabha was constituted soon after India's first general election and lasted for five years, completing its full tenure and was dissolved on 4 April 1957. There were 489 Lok Sabha seats in total at the time and total eligible voters were 17.3 crore. The Indian National Congress (INC) won 364 seats followed by independents with 37 seats. Jawaharlal Nehru became the first prime minister of the nation alongside a cabinet of 15 members.

Complete answer:
After India's first general election after independence, held from 25 October 1951 to 21 February 1952, the First Lok Sabha was constituted on 17 April 1952. On 13 May 1952, the First Session of the Lok Sabha began. On 4 April 1957, the maiden Lok Sabha lasted for five years and was disbanded.
Under the provisions of the Indian Constitution, adopted on 26 November 1949, the Indian general election of 1951–52 was held. At the same time, elections were held for the bulk of the state legislatures. The Assembly continued to act as the provisional parliament after the ratification of the constitution. Jawaharlal Nehru, made up of 15 members from various groups and political parties, led the interim cabinet. Most members of this cabinet resigned as the election started and formed their own parties to participate in the elections. 1949 candidates contested in the Lok Sabha for 489 seats. More than 173 million people were registered to vote, making it the biggest election ever with a 45.7 percent voter turnout at the time. Ganesh Vasudev Mavlankar was the first speaker of the Lok Sabha and M. A. Ayyangar Sardar Hukam Singh was the deputy speaker. On 17 December 1969, Ram Subhag Singh became the first leader of opposition

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:The Lok Sabha is made up of members of the people appointed by direct election on the basis of adult suffrage. The overall strength of the House provided for by the Constitution is 552, which consists of up to 530 representatives to be elected to serve the States, up to 20 members to represent the Union Territories, and no more than two members of the Anglo-Indian Community to be nominated by the Honourable President if that Community is not sufficiently represented in the House, in his/her view.
