The correct answer is: C. 18
The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Parliament of India. It is composed of 245 members, of whom 233 are elected by the elected members of the legislative assemblies of the states and union territories, and 12 are nominated by the President of India. The term of office of a member of the Rajya Sabha is six years, and one-third of the members retire every two years.
The number of seats that each state is allotted in the Rajya Sabha is based on its population. Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India, and it is therefore allotted 18 seats in the Rajya Sabha.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct number of seats that Uttar Pradesh is allotted in the Rajya Sabha.
