Correct Option: A

A midterm election refers to a type of staggered election where the members take office at the middle of the term of another set of members, or of the executive. In India, mid-term polls have taken place several times, reflecting the instability at the centre or states. Normally, the pre-mature dissolution of the Lok Sabha or the State Assemblies call for such elections.
