\nArticle 58 of the Constitution of India specifies the qualifications for election as President. A person is qualified if they are a citizen of India, have completed 35 years of age, and are qualified for election as a member of the House of the People (Lok Sabha). Option D accurately captures these requirements by stating a person qualified to be a member of the House of the People is qualified to be the President *if he\/she fulfils other prescribed requirements* (which are citizenship and age).
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Option A is incorrect because a person does not need to be a current member of Parliament to be qualified.
\n– Option B is incorrect because being a member of Parliament is not the sole criterion; age and citizenship are also required, and specifically qualification for Lok Sabha is needed.
\n– Option C is incorrect because qualification for Lok Sabha is necessary but not sufficient; citizenship and age are also required.
\n– Option D correctly states the qualification for Lok Sabha as one requirement, adding that other prescribed requirements must also be fulfilled.
