A4 per cent of the votes in the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections
B5 per cent of the votes in the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections
C6 per cent of the votes in the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections ✓ Correct
D7 per cent of the votes in the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections
Correct answer: (C) 6 per cent of the votes in the Lok Sabha or Assembly elections — A state party needs about 6 per cent of the state's votes, so the answer is 6 per cent.
