Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 6 years
A member of the Rajya Sabha is elected for six years under section 154 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The Rajya Sabha itself is a permanent House that is not dissolved, and under Article 83(1) one-third of its members retire every second year. Five years is the normal term of the Lok Sabha, not of a Rajya Sabha member.
