Correct Answer:
C. Election Commission
Explanation:
The Election Commission of India is the autonomous constitutional authority mandated by Article 324 of the Constitution to oversee the entire electoral process. It is responsible for organizing and managing elections to the Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), State Legislative Assemblies, and the offices of the President and Vice President. Established on January 25, 1950, the Commission ensures that these elections are conducted in a free, fair, and transparent manner. While the Supreme Court handles legal disputes and the Parliament creates electoral laws, the actual administration and conduct of the polls fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Election Commission.
