Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Post of vice president.
The provision of the post of Vice President in the Indian Constitution is taken from the US Constitution.
In both countries, the Vice President serves as the second-highest executive authority and also acts as the presiding officer of the upper house of the legislature (the Rajya Sabha in India and the Senate in the US).
In India, the Vice President is elected by an electoral college, consisting of members of both houses of Parliament, while in the US, the Vice President is elected alongside the President. The role and duties of the Vice President in both countries share similarities, such as stepping in as the President in case of vacancy due to death, resignation, or incapacity.
