Solution

The correct option is C Six years and a continuing body
The 42nd Amendment Act is known as the mini Constitution as it carried out major changes in the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't provide for the term of office of members of the Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution. However, 1/3rd of the members retire every second year. Each member is elected for a term of 6 years.
