The correct answer is (b).
The Upper House of State Legislature is called the Legislative Council. It can be created or abolished by the Parliament of India. The Legislative Council is a permanent body and cannot be dissolved like the Legislative Assembly. It has a maximum of 60 members, out of which 1/3rd are elected by the members of the Legislative Assembly, 1/3rd are elected by the members of local bodies, and 1/3rd are nominated by the Governor. The Legislative Council has equal powers with the Legislative Assembly in some matters, such as making laws on education, public health, and local self-government. However, the Legislative Assembly has more powers in some matters, such as making laws on finance, taxation, and police.
The other options are incorrect because:
- (a) The State Legislature Assembly cannot create or abolish the Legislative Council.
- (c) The Governor of State cannot create or abolish the Legislative Council.
- (d) The Presidential order cannot create or abolish the Legislative Council.
