Options:

Rajya Sabha

Vidhan Sabha

Lok Sabha

Jan Sabha

Correct Answer:

Vidhan Sabha

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Vidhan Sabha.

The State legislatures (Vidhan Sabhas) determine the composition of the upper house of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha.

 

  • The Upper House of Parliament is the Rajya Sabha.

  • Its members are not directly elected by the public, but instead elected indirectly by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies — known as the Vidhan Sabha.

  • This is done through a system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote.
