Correct option is C

Correct Answer Option (c): 2
Explanation:
Under Article 331 of the Indian Constitution, the President of India could nominate 2 members of the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha (House of the People) if the community was not adequately represented in the legislature.​

Information Booster:

Abolition of Article 331:
The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019, abolished the provision for Anglo-Indian representation in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies. This came into effect on January 25, 2020.

Other Nominated Members:

Rajya Sabha:
The President nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) based on their expertise in fields such as literature, science, art, and social service.
State Legislative Assemblies:
Similar provisions allowed nomination of members to State Legislative Assemblies from the Anglo-Indian community, which was also abolished by the 104th Amendment.
