The correct answer is (b) 03.

The Rajya Sabha, also known as the Council of States, is the upper house of the Parliament of India. It is composed of 245 members, of whom 233 are elected by the legislative assemblies of the states and union territories, and 12 are nominated by the President of India.

The number of seats allotted to each state is based on its population. Uttarakhand has a population of 10,079,689, which is 0.8% of the population of India. Therefore, it is allotted 3 seats in the Rajya Sabha.

The members of the Rajya Sabha are elected for a term of six years. One-third of the members retire every two years. The Vice President of India is the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.

The Rajya Sabha has the power to discuss and pass bills, but it cannot initiate financial bills. It also has the power to amend any bill passed by the Lok Sabha, but its amendments can be rejected by the Lok Sabha.

The Rajya Sabha is a powerful body that plays an important role in the Indian Parliament. It is a forum for the representation of the interests of the states and union territories, and it has the power to check the power of the Lok Sabha.
