Correct Answer:
B. Vice-President
Explanation:
The Vice-President of India serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, as mandated by Article 64 and Article 89 of the Indian Constitution. In this capacity, the Vice-President acts as the presiding officer of the Upper House, ensuring that proceedings are conducted according to constitutional provisions and parliamentary rules. While the Chairman is the guardian of the House's dignity and handles functions such as maintaining order, interpreting rules, and exercising a casting vote in the event of a tie, they are not a member of the Rajya Sabha. The Deputy Chairman, who is elected from among the members of the House, performs these duties in the Chairman's absence.
