Explanation:

The Legislative Council elects its Chairman and Deputy Chairman from amongst its members. This is different from the practice at the Central level, where VP presides over RS meetings. Governor is the head of the State, CM is the head of the government. So, R is wrong. The Legislative Council like the Council of States is a permanent chamber, not subject to dissolution. The members are elected for a period of six years and like Rajya Sabha one-third of members retire every second year.
