Solution

The correct option is B Two
State Legislatures can consist of two houses - the Lower House, which is the Legislative Assembly; and the Upper House, which is the Legislative Council. If a state legislature has only one Chamber, which is the Legislative Assembly, then it’s called a ‘unicameral legislature’. Most states follow this system. Meanwhile, if a state legislature has both the Assembly and the Council, it is called a bicameral legislature.
