Solution

The correct option is C Regional parties
Parties that do not qualify to be national political parties are also called 'regional parties'. For the recognition as a state party, a political party has to win two seats plus a 6% vote share in the last Assembly election in that state. Or it can also get one seat plus a 6% vote share in the previous Lok Sabha election from that state.
