What is the term of office for a Rajya Sabha member?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 6 years.

The term of office for a Rajya Sabha (Council of States) member is 6 years. Rajya Sabha members are elected by the legislatures of the states and Union territories, and one-third of the members retire every two years. This system ensures continuity within the House, as new members are elected while experienced members continue to serve, maintaining stability and ongoing legislative work.
