Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Article 100(3) provides that the quorum for a meeting of either House of Parliament is "one-tenth of the total number of members of the House", until Parliament by law provides otherwise. There is no alternative figure of 100 members; the rule of "ten members or one-tenth, whichever is greater" applies only to State Legislatures under Article 189(3). One-third is the share of Rajya Sabha members who retire every second year, not a quorum.
