A.

House of the People

Correct option is D


The correct answer is (d) Legislative Council.
· Article 168 of the Constitution of India provides for a bicameral legislature in certain states, meaning the state legislature consists of two Houses: the Legislative Council and the Legislative Assembly.
· The Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) is the upper house, while the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is the lower house.
· Not all states in India have a Legislative Council. The existence of a Legislative Council is optional and can be created or abolished by Parliament based on a state's recommendation.

Legislative Assembly:
· Role: It is the lower house of the state legislature, where members are directly elected by the people of the state.

State Council:
