C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 100(1) of the Constitution specifies the quorum for Parliament meetings as 1/10th of the total membership of each House. This minimum number ensures that decisions are made by a representative group while preventing sessions from being blocked by very few members. For Lok Sabha (545 members), this means at least 55 members must be present to start a session.
