Option 1: Five - This option states that five members of the Rajya Sabha are nominated by the President. However, this is incorrect. The correct number of nominated members is not five.

Option 2: Twelve - This option correctly states that twelve members of the Rajya Sabha are nominated by the President. These nominated members are chosen from experts in various fields like literature, science, art, and social services.

Option 3: One-fifth of the total members - This option suggests that one-fifth of the total members of the Rajya Sabha are nominated by the President. However, this is incorrect. The number of nominated members is fixed at twelve and is not based on a percentage of the total members.
