Correct answer: (d) Industrialists
Explanation
Under Article 171(3), the composition of the Legislative Council is provided. It includes 1/3 members elected by local bodies, 1/12 members elected by graduates of at least three years’ standing, 1/12 members elected by persons engaged in teaching for at least three years (not below secondary level), 1/3 members elected by the members of the Legislative Assembly, and the remaining members nominated by the Governor. Hence, members are not chosen from the category of industrialists.
