Correct Answer:
B. Indirect Election
Explanation:
The President of India is elected through an indirect election by an electoral college, as specified in Article 54 of the Constitution. This college consists of the elected members of both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) and the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of all States, including the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union Territory of Puducherry. Nominated members of Parliament and members of State Legislative Councils do not participate in this process. The election is conducted by the Election Commission of India using a system of proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote, with voting held via secret ballot. To win, a candidate must secure a specific quota of votes, which is calculated based on the total value of valid votes cast.
