AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
(C) India's vast social and geographical diversity cannot be easily absorbed by two or three parties.
The textbook explicitly states: "if India has evolved a multiparty system, it is because the social and geographical diversity in such a large country is not easily absorbed by two or even three parties." The party system evolves from a country's special circumstances — it is neither mandated by the Election Commission nor prohibited by the Constitution. Option C directly reflects the textbook's reasoning.
