Solution

The correct option is B indirect
There are two major types of elections: direct and indirect. In an indirect election, voters do not chose between candidates for an office. The elected representatives vote for the candidates of their choice. In India, indirect elections are conducted for the members of the Rajya Sabha and the Vidhan Parishad. The President and the Vice-President of India are also chosen through indirect elections. When compared to direct elections, indirect elections are less democratic but also less expensive.
