{'indian parliament': [11, 0, 5, 3], 'absolute majority': [3, 0, 2, 2], 'majority': [8, 3, 4, 5], 'simple maj ority': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'boundary': [1, 0, 3, 6], 'members': [37, 11, 44, 71]}
The correct answer is option 1, a simple majority. This means that a majority of the members present and voting in both the houses of the Indian Parliament can rename or redefine the boundary of a state. It is not required to have an absolute majority or a specific threshold of votes like 2/3rd majority or a combination of both. A simple majority refers to more than half of the members present and voting.
It is important to note that the power to rename or redefine the boundary of a state lies with the Indian Parliament and not with the state government. This is done through a specific legislative process and requires the approval of the members of Parliament.
