A: Cannot Be Extended At All
B: Can Be Extended 6 Months At A Time During Emergency
C: Can Be Extended One Year At A Time During Emergency
D: Can Be Extended Two Year At A Time During Emergency

The answer is: C

Explanation

The term of the Lok Sabha, which is the lower house of the Indian Parliament, is normally five years. However, in certain exceptional circumstances, the term can be extended.

During a national emergency, which may be declared due to war or external aggression or armed rebellion, the term of the Lok Sabha can be extended by a period of one year at a time. This extension can be done through a special provision under Article 352 of the Indian Constitution.

So, the correct option is C: The term of the Lok Sabha can be extended one year at a time during an emergency.
