The correct answer is option 2, Parliament. The power to create or abolish the Upper House of the State Legislature lies with the Parliament. In India, the Parliament consists of two houses - the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) and the Lok Sabha (Lower House). Each state in India also has its own legislature, which consists of two houses - the Legislative Assembly (Lower House) and the Legislative Council (Upper House) in some states. The creation or abolition of the Legislative Council, which is the Upper House of the state legislature, is done by the Parliament. This ensures that any changes in the composition of the state legislature are decided at the national level to maintain the balance and integrity of the federal structure of the country.
