B.
Rajya Sabha only
-

-
D.
Members of State Legislative Assemblies
Correct Answer:
C. An electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament
Explanation:
The Vice-President of India is elected through a system of proportional representation using a single transferable vote by an electoral college. This college is composed of all members from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, including both elected and nominated representatives. Unlike the Presidential election, members of State Legislative Assemblies do not participate in this voting process. Based on this constitutional provision, the correct choice is the option mentioning an electoral college of members from both Houses of Parliament.
