Solution

The correct option is B 78
The percentage of women in the Indian legislature has always been low. In the first Lok Sabha elections in 1952, only 24 women were elected to the House. As of 2019, there are 78 women members in the Lok Sabha. That is 14.36% of the total strength of the Lok Sabha.
