Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. six month.
A nominated member of Parliament or a State Legislature shall be disqualified from the House if they join any political party after the expiry of six months from the date they take their seat. This rule is stated in the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution under the Anti-Defection Law, which aims to prevent political defection and maintain neutrality. The law provides a six-month grace period for a nominated member to decide their political stance. After this period, joining a party will lead to disqualification.
