Answer 1

The term of the Lok Sabha can be extended during emergency by one year at a time.

Explanation:

During a national emergency, the Lok Sabha's term can be extended for one year at a time in addition to the normal five-year term. However, this extension cannot last indefinitely and must be evaluated and extended annually for the duration of the emergency. Once the emergency ends, the enlarged Lok Sabha must be disbanded within six months.
