Answer: (D) Vidhan Pari shad

The upper house of a State Legislature in India is called the Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council). The lower house is the Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly). Not all states have a Vidhan Parishad; it exists in states that have a bicameral legislature, such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Maharashtra. The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Parliament, not state legislatures.
