Solution

The correct option is B Congress
The dominance of the Congress during the period 1952-1962 was very well observed. In the second and the third general elections, held in 1957 and 1962 respectively, Congress maintained the same position in the Lok Sabha by winning three-fourth of the seats. None of the opposition parties could win even one-tenth of the number of seats won by the Congress.
