Model Answer

Explanation
The source passage clearly states: "Now the law says that if any MLA or MP changes parties, he or she will lose the seat in the legislature." This is a direct fact from the anti-defection law (Tenth Schedule). For MCQs, identify the exact wording from the textbook — no other option matches the passage.
