Explanation

Option C is correct because the provided text explicitly states that in the first general election, the Congress party won 364 seats and finished way ahead of any other challenger. It further clarifies that 'The Communist Party of India that came next in terms of seats won only 16 seats.' This confirms that the Communist Party of India held the second position in terms of seats won, distinct from the Socialist Party which is noted as the second largest party in terms of votes.
