Who comprises the Official Opposition?

Former prime ministers and cabinet ministers.
The opposition party with the most members of the House of Commons.
Members of the Senate.
Any party not holding power.

The correct answer is: The opposition party with the most members of the House of Commons.

The Official Opposition is the political party with the second largest number of seats in the House of Commons, as they are seen as the biggest check and balance to the party in power. This means that option B is the correct answer because it correctly identifies the role and composition of the Official Opposition. Options C and D are incorrect because while members of the Senate and any party not holding power can be considered opposition parties, they do not necessarily comprise the Official Opposition. Option A is also incorrect because while former prime ministers and cabinet ministers may belong to opposition parties, they are not the only members and do not solely make up the Official Opposition.
