Answer 1

The correct option is A Enlargement of the jurisdiction of the state public service commission.

Explanation:

• The power & status of the council is equal to assembly in enlargement of the jurisdiction of the state public service commission.
• The legislative council cannot amend or reject a money bill. It should return the bill to the assembly within 14 days, either with recommendations or without recommendations.
• The legislative council cannot remove the Government by passing a no-confidence motion. This is because the council of ministers is collectively responsible only to the assembly.
• The council does not participate in the election of the president of India.
