A Correct answer
Explanation

Article 326 of the Indian Constitution establishes that elections to the Lok Sabha and State Legislatures shall be on the basis of adult suffrage - meaning every Indian citizen above 18 years has the right to vote. 'Direct Election' describes the mechanism (voters directly elect representatives), but Adult Suffrage is the foundational principle/basis. The question specifically asks for the 'basis'.
