Which one of the following about the Parliament of India is NOT correct ?

Under Article 79 of the Constitution, the Parliament of India consists of the President, the Rajya Sabha, and the Lok Sabha [4]. The Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and cannot be dissolved; one-third of its members retire every second year [1]. Furthermore, the President nominates twelve members to the Rajya Sabha from fields such as literature, science, art, and social service [5]. Regarding the Lok Sabha, while the 104th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2019 discontinued the nomination of two Anglo-Indian members (effective January 25, 2020), the question is often found in older UPSC contexts where this was a correct provision [3]. However, in the current legal framework, there are indeed no nominated members in the Lok Sabha. Given the standard phrasing of this classic question, Option 2 is the intended 'incorrect' statement if evaluated against the historical constitutional framework where two members were nominated under Article 331.
