AnswerAnswer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
In order to get the recognition as main opposition party in Parliament, the concerned party must have at least 10% or onetenth of total strength of the house (55 seats in Lok Sabha). Recognition of main opposition party can only be given to a single political party and not to the coalition or alliance. At present, there is no recognised opposition party in Lok Sabha, since no party qulifies the 10% criteria.
