C Correct answer
Explanation

The Vice President of India is ex-officio Chairman of Rajya Sabha and presides over its sessions but cannot vote except in case of a tie. This is similar to the US Vice President's role in the Senate. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker preside over Lok Sabha and can vote, while Vice Chairman presides in the Chairman's absence.
