(C) Four states
A party must secure at least six per cent of total votes in Lok Sabha or Assembly elections in four states and win at least four Lok Sabha seats to be recognised as a national party.
The answer is directly stated in the "National parties" section: "A party that secures at least six per cent of the total votes in Lok Sabha elections or Assembly elections in four States and wins at least four seats in the Lok Sabha is recognised as a national party." Students must not confuse this with the State party criterion (six per cent + two seats in a State Assembly).
