Correct option is D
In the election of the President of India, only the elected members of the Lok Sabha (House of the People), elected members of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), and elected members of the legislative assemblies of states and union territories participate.
However, the elected members of the legislative councils (Vidhan Parishads) of the states do not participate in the election.
Additional Information:
- The President of India is elected through an indirect election by an electoral college comprising:
- Elected members of both houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha)
- Elected members of the legislative assemblies of states and union territories
- Legislative Councils (Vidhan Parishads) are the upper houses in some states and have no role in the election of the President, as their members are not part of the electoral college.
