Concept:Rajya Sabha is the upper house of India’s bicameral Parliament and mainly represents the states and union territories.
Explanation:India’s Parliament has two houses: Lok Sabha (lower house) and Rajya Sabha (upper house).
Rajya Sabha represents the states and union territories, protecting their interests against central interference.
It can initiate legislation, and any bill must pass through it to become law.
Maximum strength is 250 members: 238 represent states/UTs (elected by state legislative assemblies) and 12 are nominated by the President.
The Vice President is the ex-officio Chairman; a Deputy Chairman is elected from among members.
The Leader of the House is a senior minister from Rajya Sabha, appointed by the Prime Minister.
Therefore, the statement "It represents the states of India in the Parliament" is correct.
Other options are false: Rajya Sabha does not select the executive (that is done by Lok Sabha), it does not consist of 245 nominated members (most are elected), and it is not led by the Prime Minister (the Vice President chairs it).
Answer:Option B: It represents the states of India in the Parliament.
