Solution
The correct option is C Lok Sabha
Lok Sabha comprises 543 members who are elected from the (parliamentary) constituencies and two members of the Anglo-Indian community who are nominated by the President of India. Unlike Rajya Sabha, the citizens of India directly elect the 543 members of Lok Sabha. All the Indian citizens, who are aged 18 years and above, irrespective of their gender, caste, religion or race, are eligible to vote to elect their representatives to the Parliament. Thus, the Lok Sabha is called the Lower House of the Parliament of India whereas the Rajya Sabha is called the Upper House.
