A Correct answer
Explanation

The Vice-President of India serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha but is not a member of either House of Parliament. This is a unique position where the presiding officer does not belong to the body they lead. In contrast, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha must be an elected member of that House.
