Solution

The correct option is D In all above cases
In order to be a member of legislative assembly or MLA, a person should have some qualifications. Besides being a citizen of India, the individual should not be less than 25 years of age. On a more fundamental note, a person, who is not a voter from any constituency of the state, is not eligible to become an MLA. Failing to qualify on one or all of these parameters bars a person from contesting the election of the state legislature.
