c. Both 1 and 2
d. Neither 1 nor 2

ANSWER: Only 1
 
  • No opposition party/coalition received 10% membership of the House. The single largest opposition party currently is the Indian National Congress, with 45 seats.
  • Due to this the current i.e. 16th Lok Sabha has no Leader of Opposition (LoP).
  • Mallikarjun Kharge is the Leader of Congress in Lok Sabha but not the LoP.
