Answer: (A)

parity between the voting strengths of the States and the Parliament

The President is elected indirectly by the electoral college. Every elected member of either house of the Parliament shall have such number of votes as may be obtained by dividing the total number of votes assigned to members of the legislative assemblies of the states by the total number of the elected members of both the Houses of Parliament.
