Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. United States of America.

The provision for the post of Vice-President in the Indian Constitution was taken from the U.S. Constitution. The role of the Vice-President in India mirrors that of the U.S. Vice-President in several respects, including being the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and serving as the second-highest constitutional office in the country. This provision was adopted to ensure a balanced and effective system of governance, similar to the practices followed in the United States.
