The correct answer is (d). The Indian Parliament consists of the President, the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and the Rajya Sabha (Council of States).
The President is the head of state of India. He/She is elected by an electoral college consisting of elected members of both Houses of Parliament, the legislative assemblies of all states and the legislative councils of the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The President holds office for a term of five years and can be re-elected for a second term.
The Lok Sabha is the lower house of Parliament. It is composed of directly elected members from single-member constituencies. The number of members in the Lok Sabha is determined by the population of the state. The current strength of the Lok Sabha is 543 members.
The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of Parliament. It is composed of members who are elected by the legislative assemblies of the states and the Union Territories. The number of members in the Rajya Sabha is 245. Of these, 233 members are elected by the legislative assemblies of the states and the Union Territories, and 12 members are nominated by the President.
The President is the head of the executive branch of the government. He/She appoints the Prime Minister and other members of the Council of Ministers. The President also has the power to dissolve the Lok Sabha and to appoint the Chief Justice of India and other judges of the Supreme Court and the High Courts.
The Lok Sabha is the more powerful house of Parliament. It has the power to pass laws, to approve the budget and to remove the Prime Minister and other members of the Council of Ministers from office.
The Rajya Sabha is a permanent house. It is not subject to dissolution. However, one-third of its members retire every two years.
The President, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha together form the Parliament of India. The Parliament is responsible for making laws, for approving the budget and for overseeing the functioning of the government.
