The correct answer is (a) Council of State.
The Vice-President is the second-highest constitutional office in India, after the President. The Vice-President is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament and the legislative assemblies of all the states. The Vice-President holds office for a term of five years.
The Vice-President can be removed from office by a resolution of the Council of States passed by a majority of all the members of that House and agreed to by the Lok Sabha. The resolution must be moved by a member of the Council of States and seconded by a member of the Lok Sabha.
The Council of State is the upper house of the Indian Parliament. It consists of 250 members, 12 nominated by the President and 238 elected by the members of the legislative assemblies of the states and the Union Territories.
The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Indian Parliament. It consists of 543 members, directly elected by the people of India.
The Cabinet is the supreme decision-making body of the Government of India. It consists of the Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Union Government.
The Council of Ministers is the body of Ministers who are responsible to the Lok Sabha. It consists of the Prime Minister and the Ministers of the Union Government.
The Vice-President is not a member of the Cabinet or the Council of Ministers.
