Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 190(4) permits the House to declare a member’s seat vacant after absence without permission from all its meetings for 60 days. In computing that period, days when the House is prorogued or adjourned for more than four consecutive days are excluded. Vacation of the seat is permissive, rather than automatic merely on the sixtieth day.
