Answer: D

India's first general election was held over the winter of 1951–52, from October to February.

176 million people were eligible to vote, about 85 per cent of them unable to read, so parties were given symbols and separate ballot boxes. Turnout was about 45 per cent, and the Congress won 364 of 489 seats.
