Solution

The correct option is B Bicameralism
The system of having two chambers in the legislature is called ‘bicameralism’. Having two houses ensures that legislation is not passed too quickly. It ensures that the Parliament has enough time to carefully go through all the details of a law before it is passed, and it also ensures wider representation of needs. Our legislature is bicameral, since we have the Lok Sabha as the House of the People, and the Rajya Sabha as the Council of States.
