Correct Answer:
B. 5 years
Explanation:
The normal term for the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament, is five years from the date of its first meeting. According to Article 83(2) of the Constitution, the House is automatically dissolved at the end of this five-year period unless the President chooses to dissolve it sooner. While a Proclamation of Emergency is active, Parliament may pass a law to extend this duration by up to one year at a time; however, such an extension cannot continue for more than six months after the emergency has ended.
