Explanation by: Admin

Total Constituencies: 545 – This includes 543 elected members and 2 nominated (previously for Anglo-Indians, now discontinued).

  • General Constituencies: 423
  • Scheduled Caste Constituencies: 80
  • Scheduled Tribe Constituencies: 42

This is the traditional and widely accepted breakdown before the Anglo-Indian nomination was abolished in 2020. So if the question refers to the original or constitutional provision, then (A) is correct.
