Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Vice-President of India is eligible for re-election to that office for any number of terms. Unlike the President of the United States, the Indian Constitution does not impose a limit on the number of terms a person can serve as Vice-President. Regarding other options: Article 66(3) mandates that a candidate must be a citizen of India and not less than 35 years of age [3]. The Vice-President is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), including both elected and nominated members [1]. According to Article 67, the Vice-President holds office for a term of five years from the date on which he enters upon his office [1]. Therefore, the statement claiming he is not eligible for re-election is incorrect.
