D Correct answer
Explanation

Article 164(1)(b) caps State Legislative Assembly membership at 500 (or fewer as specified by law). The minimum age for MLA membership is 25 years (Article 173). The Legislative Council cannot exceed one-third of Assembly strength, not half. The Council Chairman is elected by Council members, not nominated by Governor.
