Solution

The correct option is B one year
During National Emergency, the duration of Lok Sabha can be extended to a maximum of 1 year at a time by passing a law in the parliament. The term of 5th Lok Sabha was extended twice by passing House of the People (extension of duration) Act, 1976. However, this extension cannot continue beyond a period of six months after the Emergency ceases to operate.
