Solution

The correct option is B Lok Sabha
Like the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker is also elected by the Lok Sabha itself from among its members. Deputy Speaker is elected after the election of the Speaker has taken place. Whenever the office of the Deputy Speaker falls vacant, the Lok Sabha elects another member to fill the vacancy. The Deputy Speaker is elected in the very first meeting of the Lok Sabha after the General elections for a term of 5 years from amongst the members of the Lok Sabha.
