Explanation
The Vice‑President of India can be removed only by a resolution initiated in the Rajya Sabha (Council of States). Textbooks state that Rajya Sabha alone can initiate the removal and that the Vice‑President is removed by a resolution of that House [1]. Detailed accounts note the Vice‑President may be removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by a majority of its members and then agreed to by the Lok Sabha [2]. Official government sources add that such a resolution may be moved only after at least 14 days’ notice of intention to move it has been given [3]. Thus the correct choice is Rajya Sabha alone.
