{'indian constitution': [102, 1, 17, 18], 'parliament': [15, 1, 3, 8], 'council': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'union': [17, 3, 24, 36], 'houses': [13, 3, 5, 21], 'states': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'house': [15, 3, 9, 18], 'article': [54, 1, 15, 30]}

The correct answer is option 2, Article 79 of the Indian Constitution. Article 79 states that there shall be a Parliament for the Union which shall consist of the President and two Houses, namely the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the House of the People (Lok Sabha).

Option 1, Article 69, is incorrect. Article 69 of the Indian Constitution deals with the oath or affirmation by the President.

Option 3, Article 89, is also incorrect. Article 89 of the Indian Constitution deals with the special procedure in the enactment of certain laws related to states.

Option 4, Article 99, is also incorrect. Article 99 of the Indian Constitution deals with the vacation and resignation of, and removal from, the seats of members of Parliament.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, Article 79, as it specifically mentions the provision for the two Houses of Parliament in the Indian Constitution.
