D
Correct answer
Explanation
According to Article 58 of the Indian Constitution, a person must be at least 35 years of age to be eligible for election as President of India. This requirement is higher than for membership in Lok Sabha (25 years) but is consistent with the age requirement for Vice President and Rajya Sabha membership (30 years).
