C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 331 of the Indian Constitution empowers the President to nominate up to 2 members from the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha if the community feels inadequately represented. This provision was introduced to safeguard the interests of the Anglo-Indian minority. The nomination provision lapsed in 2020 after the 84th Amendment's 25-year sunset clause expired. Parsis, Jews, and Nepali Gorkhas do not have this specific nomination provision.
