Solution

The correct option is C 1 only
The Council of States (Rajya Sabha) is the Upper House of our Parliament. A lasting body, Rajya Sabha isn't subjected to dissolution. The Constitution gives that Rajya Sabha may pass a resolution, by a larger part of at the very least two-thirds of the Members present and casting a ballot such that it is fundamental or convenient in the national interest that Parliament should make law as for any issue counted in the State List. At that point, Parliament is engaged to make a law regarding the matter indicated in the goals for the entire or any piece of the domain of India. Such resolution stays in power for the greatest time of one year however this period can be reached out by one year on end by passing a further resolution.
The proclamation of emergency must be approved by both Houses of the Parliament, this is a constitutional requirement.
