A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 80(3) of the Indian Constitution, the President can nominate up to 12 members to the Rajya Sabha. These nominated members are chosen for their expertise in fields like literature, science, art, and social service, allowing distinguished specialists to contribute to parliamentary deliberations beyond party politics. The nominations ensure representation of talent not necessarily elected through the normal process.
