C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 81(1)(b) of the Constitution caps the Lok Sabha at 530 elected from states, plus up to 20 members nominated by the President to represent Union Territories. This ensures UTs have voice in the lower house without overrepresentation. The current actual number is lower, but 20 is the constitutional maximum.
