Solution

The correct option is C He is not the elected member of Rajya Sabha but a nominated one
According to the Constitution of India, a person who has been nominated as an MP by the President of India will be barred from participating in the act of electing the President. If the person wants to become a minister then he/she has to resign from his/her post and must be elected as an MP by other members of Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha.
