The Parliament of India consists of ______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. President, House of the People and Council of States. 

'President, House of the People and Council of States.'

The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative body and consists of three parts:

  1. President of India – The constitutional head who gives assent to bills.

  2. House of the People– The lower house, directly elected by the people.

  3. Council of States– The upper house, representing states and union territories.

Other options:

  • 'House of the People and Council of States' – Incorrect, as it excludes the President.

  • 'House of the People' – Only refers to Lok Sabha, not the complete Parliament.

  • 'Council of States' – Only refers to Rajya Sabha, missing Lok Sabha and the President.

Thus, the President, Lok Sabha, and Rajya Sabha together form India’s Parliament.
