The Legislative Council can be created by :
Answer: D
The key's answer is according to Article 169.
Article 169 provides that Parliament may by law create (or abolish) the Legislative Council of a state if the Legislative Assembly of that state passes a resolution to that effect by a majority of its total membership and two-thirds of those present and voting. Such a law is expressly not treated as an amendment of the Constitution under Article 368.
So a Council is not created by a constitutional amendment, and a resolution of the Lok Sabha plays no part. The Assembly's resolution is necessary but not sufficient, since Parliament must then pass the law. The option that refers to the whole Article 169 procedure is therefore the complete answer.
