Answer 1

Hint:The parliament of India is bicameral, which means it has two houses. The lower house is known as Lok Sabha and the upper house is known as Rajya Sabha. The members of the Lok Sabha are elected directly by the people and elections are held after 5 years.

Complete answer:
The Lok Sabha was formed on April 17th, 1952 after the first general elections that were held from October 25 1951 to 21 February 1952. The total strength of Lok Sabha is 552 in which 530 members represent the state, 20 members represent the union territories and the remaining two are elected from the Anglo-Indian community directly by the president. The Lower House of the parliament is also known as The House of the people. The members of the parliament enjoy the office for 5 years or until on the advice of the council of ministers the president dissolves the body. The 104th constitutional amendment act 2019 abolished in January 2020 the 2 members from the Anglo-Indian community that was elected by the president on the advice of the government of India. Now the seats in Lok Sabha have been reduced from 552 to 550 where 530 members are the representatives from the states. The meetings of the lower house or conducted in Sansad Bhavan, New Delhi. Even though the constitution has placed both the houses at an equal level but Lok Sabha has powers over Rajya Sabha.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Note:If Lok Sabha passes the motion of no-confidence vote against the government, then the prime minister and the council of ministers have to resign collectively. The money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha.
