The correct option is B Rajya Sabha only
According to Article 249 of the Constitution, if the Rajya Sabha passes any of the subjects of the state list with 2/3 majority of the present and eligible voters of the House, declaring the subjects to have national importance, then on that subject parliament acquires the power to legislate i.e. to make laws.
Hence, B is the correct option.
