The correct option is C 2 and 3 only

Explanation:

The Election Commission lists political parties as “national party”, “state party” or “registered (unrecognised) party”.The conditions for being listed as a national or a state party are specified under the Election Symbols (Reservation and Allotment) Order, 1968. A party has to satisfy any one of a number of these conditions.

For recognition as a NATIONAL PARTY, the conditions specified are:
