Solution

The correct option is B 2%
To be recognised as a national party, as of 2020, a political party was expected to get 6% vote share in the last assembly polls of any four states, and four seats in the last Lok Sabha polls. Or it could get a national party status even if it won 2% of all Lok Sabha seats in the last election (approximately 11 seats). But these MPs should be elected from at least three states.
