The President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of: 1. Elected members of both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha). 2. Elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the States. 3. Elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the Union Territories of Delhi and Puducherry.The statement in option (A) is false because it includes all members of Parliament (which implies nominated members as well, though the actual electoral college excludes them) and all members of State Legislative Assemblies (which implies nominated members of Legislative Councils where they exist). Crucially, it omits the elected members of the UTs of Delhi and Puducherry. The most prominent error is the inclusion of "all members of Parliament" and "State Legislative Assemblies" without specifying "elected".Let's analyze why the other options are true: - The President of India can be removed from office by impeachment (Article 61). This is true. - The President of India is eligible for re-election (Article 57). This is true. - The President of India can not be a member of either Parliament or any State Legislature. If a person is elected President, they automatically vacate their seat in Parliament or the State Legislature (Article 59(1)). This is true.
