Answer 1

Hint: TheState Legislative Advisory body, is the upper chamber in India; the lower chamber being the State Legislative Assembly. Six out of twenty-eight Indian states have a State Legislative Council. The size of the State Legislative Assembly cannot be smaller than $40$ members. These fellows certify the Chairman of Legislative Council and Junior Chairman.

Complete answer:
MLCs are selected in the following manner: One-third is chosen by the fellows of regional organizations, for example, Panchayat Samitis and District Councils. One-third is voted by the members of the Legislative Assembly of the Federation from among the individuals who are not fellows of the State Legislative Assembly. One-sixth are appointed by the Governor from the individuals having wisdom or logical experience in areas such as science, arts, and social services. One-twelfth is voted by the individuals who are graduates of three years' standing settling in that province. One-twelfth is voted by educators who had spent at least three years in schooling in academic organizations within the province not lower than secondary establishments, incorporating colleges and universities.
So, the correct answer is Option B.

Note: A person must be an inhabitant of India, at least $30$ years aged, mentally rational, not insolvent, and must be enrolled on the voters' record of the region for which he or she is competing for an election to serve as a unit of a State Legislative Council (MLC). He or she may not be a Member of Parliament and a Member of the State Legislative Assembly at the same moment. The term of the MLCs is six years. One-third of the units of the State Legislative Advisory body retire after every two years.
