The correct answer is option 1, Uttar Pradesh. The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Parliament of India, and the number of members each state sends to the Rajya Sabha is determined by its population. Uttar Pradesh, being the most populated state in India, sends the maximum number of members to the Rajya Sabha. This is because the representation in the Rajya Sabha is based on the concept of equality among states, where smaller states and Union territories are given a fixed number of seats, while the remaining seats are allocated to the states based on their population. Therefore, Uttar Pradesh, with its large population, has the highest number of members in the Rajya Sabha compared to other states.
