Polity

  1. AIf a party gets six percent of the total valid votes polled in the election for Lok Sabha in four or more States.
  2. BIf a party sends four elected members to the Lok Sabha.
  3. CIf a party gets two percent of the total number of seats in Lok Sabha from not less than three States.
  4. DIf a party is recognized as a State Party in at least two States.Correct

Answer: D. If a party is recognized as a State Party in at least two States.

Explanation

National-party recognition requires state-party status in four states (or the vote/seat thresholds), not two — so (d) is not an essential condition.
