In which state the upper house of the legislature, gets equal representation from federating units ?
Answer: B
Equal representation of the federating units in the upper house is found in the USA.
Every American state, whatever its population, elects two Senators, so the Senate represents the states equally. This was the 'Great Compromise' of 1787 between large and small states.
In India the Rajya Sabha seats are allotted to states roughly in proportion to population (Uttar Pradesh has 31, several small states one). The UK is a unitary state, and its House of Lords is not a chamber of federating units. Since the USA fits, 'none of the above' is wrong.
