A Correct answer
Explanation

The Constitution permits members from Rajya Sabha to be appointed as Cabinet Ministers, including the Prime Minister. There is no requirement that ministers must belong to Lok Sabha. The only constraint is that a minister who is not a member of either House must become a member within 6 months (Article 75(5)). Currently, up to 10% of ministers can be from Rajya Sabha.
