Solution

The correct option is C Rajya Sabha
The Rajya Sabha is a permanent body. It cannot be dissolved. However, one-third of its members retire every second year and are replaced by newly elected members. This bi-yearly replacement ensures that the House is well acquainted with the changing public opinion. The maximum strength of the House is 250.
