The correct answer is option 'C' - Only 2 and 3.
Explanation:
1) Prime Minister of India must only be a member of Lok Sabha: This statement is false. According to Article 75(5) of the Indian Constitution, the Prime Minister must be a member of either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. There is no requirement that the Prime Minister must only be a member of Lok Sabha.
2) Prime Minister of India can be a member of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha: This statement is true. As per Article 75(5) of the Indian Constitution, the Prime Minister can be a member of either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha or both. However, it is common practice for the Prime Minister to be a member of the Lok Sabha.
3) British Prime Minister must only be a member of the Lower House: This statement is true. The British Prime Minister must be a member of the House of Commons, which is the lower house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister is not required to be a member of the House of Lords, which is the upper house.
4) British Prime Minister can be a member of the Lower House as well as Upper House: This statement is false. The British Prime Minister cannot be a member of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords simultaneously. The Prime Minister is required to be a member of the House of Commons and is not eligible to sit in the House of Lords.
Therefore, the true statements are:
2) Prime Minister of India can be a member of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
3) British Prime Minister must only be a member of the Lower House
