Explanation

Article 80(4) of the Constitution states that representatives of union territories in the Rajya Sabha shall be chosen in such manner as Parliament may by law prescribe. This gives Parliament the authority to decide the election method for UT representatives. The other options incorrectly attribute this power to state assemblies or state laws.
