Answer & Solution

Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option D: Legislative Council

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Legislative Council”.
The Legislative Council can be abolished by the State Legislature and Parliament, but it cannot be dissolved.

Like the Rajya Sabha, the legislative council is a continuing chamber, that is, it is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution.

The tenure of a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) is six years, with one-third of the members retiring every two years.
