The correct option is C Rajya Sabha
The Union Legislature is bicameral since it has two chambers. In India, the ‘Lower house’, or the House of the People is called the Lok Sabha. It consists of directly elected representatives. The Upper House or the ‘Council of States’ is the Rajya Sabha. It allows for greater representation of the states, reflecting the federal character of our country.
