Solution

The correct option is A A legislature with two houses.
A bicameral legislature is a legislature with two houses. The Indian Parliament consists of two houses- Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Few states in India also have bicameral legislature consisting of Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad, while others have a single house, i.e. Vidhan Sabha. This model was specifically chosen by the founding fathers to accommodate the varied and diverse groups within our population.
