The correct answer is (a) The President of India.
The President of India is the head of state of India and has the power to dissolve the Rajya Sabha. The President can dissolve the Rajya Sabha on the advice of the Prime Minister. The President can also dissolve the Rajya Sabha if the Rajya Sabha passes a no-confidence motion against the government.
The Prime Minister is the head of government of India and is appointed by the President. The Prime Minister is responsible to the Lok Sabha, which is the lower house of the Indian Parliament. The Prime Minister can advise the President to dissolve the Rajya Sabha, but the President is not bound to follow the Prime Minister’s advice.
The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Indian Parliament and is directly elected by the people of India. The Lok Sabha has the power to pass laws, approve the budget, and remove the government from office. The Lok Sabha cannot dissolve the Rajya Sabha.
None of the above is the correct answer.
