The statement “It is a permanent body, but can be dissolved earlier by the President” is NOT correct.

The Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution. While it is permanent, its members serve terms. One-third of its members retire after every two years, and new members are elected to fill the vacancies. The President does not have the power to dissolve the Rajya Sabha.

Statements A, B, and C are correct descriptions of the Rajya Sabha. Members are elected by elected MLAs using proportional representation by means of a single transferable vote, and the system of periodic retirement ensures its continuous nature.
