The correct answer is option 1, Article 67. Article 67 of the Indian Constitution outlines the procedure for the removal of the Vice-President of India. This article states that the Vice-President can be removed from office by a resolution passed by the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of Parliament) with a majority of the total membership of the house and a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting. This means that a significant majority of the Rajya Sabha members must vote in favor of the resolution in order for the Vice-President to be removed from office. It is important to note that the President does not have the power to remove the Vice-President; the removal can only be initiated by the Rajya Sabha through a resolution.
