Solution

The correct option is C Legislative Council
The Legislative Council is a permanent house and cannot be dissolved. Every Member of Legislative Council serves a six-year term, and every two years, 1/3rd of the members retire. This is called a ‘Staggered Term’. The qualifications required for election to the Council are similar to that of the Assembly - citizens of India, mentally sound, and not bankrupt. Their name should be in the state voter’s list. The one difference is that they should be over 30 years old.
