Solution

The correct option is C Elections in all the constituencies
For Lok Sabha elections, the country is divided into 543 constituencies. The representative elected from each constituency is called a Member of Parliament or an MP. One of the features of a democratic election is that every vote should have equal value. Each Parliamentary constituency has within it several assemblies constituencies. The same principle applies to Panchayat and Municipal elections. Each village or town is divided into several ‘wards’ that are like constituencies.
