Answer 1

The correct option is C he will be disqualified from membership

Option C is the correct answer. Article 102 of the Indian Constitution clearly states this. It says that a person shall be disqualified for being chosen as, and for being, a member of either House of Parliament if he is not a citizen of India or has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a foreign State, or is under any acknowledgment of allegiance or adherence to a foreign State.
