The correct answer is: One third.
The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Parliament of India. It is composed of 245 members, of which 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 members of the Rajya Sabha are elected for a term of six years, and one-third of the members retire every two years.
Option A is incorrect because all members of the Rajya Sabha are not elected every two years. Only one-third of the members retire every two years.
Option B is incorrect because one-fourth of the members of the Rajya Sabha are not elected every two years. Only one-third of the members retire every two years.
Option C is incorrect because half of the members of the Rajya Sabha are not elected every two years. Only one-third of the members retire every two years.
