Solution

The correct option is D 4th
Each state and union territory in India has a fixed limit of representatives in the Upper House as per the 4th Schedule of the Constitution. Rajya Sabha elections are conducted on the basis of proportional representation. That means, a party with one-fourth of the members in a state legislature will be able to ensure that it gets one-fourth of Rajya Sabha seats from that state.
