The correct answer is option 4, Andhra Pradesh. Vidhan Parishad is an upper house or legislative council in some states of India. It is an indirect elected body and acts as a revising chamber to the legislative assembly. It allows for the inclusion of representatives from various sections of society, including professionals and experts, who may not have directly contested in the assembly elections. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala do not have Vidhan Parishad. In Andhra Pradesh, the Vidhan Parishad was established in 1958 as a legislative council. It consists of members who are elected, nominated, or selected from various constituencies and special interest groups. The Vidhan Parishad plays a crucial role in reviewing and revising legislation proposed by the legislative assembly.
