Solution

The correct option is B The members of both Houses of Parliament
The Vice-President is elected indirectly by an electoral college consisting of members of both houses of the Parliament. The election of the Vice-President is slightly different from the election of the President as the members of state legislatures are not part of the Electoral College for the vice-presidential election.
