Solution

The correct option is D Elected members of the Lower House of State Legislature
Elected members of the Lower House of State Legislature have the right to vote in the elections to both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Members of Rajya Sabha are not elected by the adult suffrage concept, they are elected by the legislative assemblies of the various states of India. Therefore (MLAs) Members of Legislative Assembly take part in the election of Rajya Sabha.
One of the required qualifications for becoming an MLA is that the age of a person must be 25 years and above.
Hence, it is very clear that an MLA has the right to vote in the Lok Sabha election because he/she has surely crossed the age of 18.
So, MLAs (Members of Legislative Assembly) can vote in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
