Explanation
Correct Answer:
One-tenth of the total number of members of the House.
Explanation:
According to Article 100 of the Constitution of India, the quorum required to conduct a meeting in either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha) is one-tenth (1/10) of the total membership.
If the quorum is not met, the meeting is either adjourned or suspended until enough members are present.
This rule ensures that decisions are not taken by a very small number of members.
