D. 552 members

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 81 of the Constitution establishes the maximum possible strength of the Lok Sabha at 550 members, accommodating up to 530 from states and 20 from union territories. Earlier provisions allowed for two additional Anglo-Indian nominations, which were discontinued by the constitutional amendment act of 2019. Current allocated strengths reflect ongoing delimitation boundaries determined by census data.
