Which of the following organs of the state legislature is a permanent body that cannot be dissolved, yet can be completely abolished under the provisions of the Indian Constitution?

Explanation

According to Article 169 of the Constitution of India, the Parliament can by law provide for the abolition or creation of a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) in a state, if the Legislative Assembly of that state passes a resolution by a majority of the total membership of the Assembly and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Assembly present and voting. Therefore, the Legislative Council can be abolished but cannot be dissolved.
