Correct answer: D
Assertion (A) is correct — both India and the United States have bicameral legislatures. India: Lok Sabha (Lower House) and Rajya Sabha (Upper House)
U.S.A.: House of Representatives (Lower House) and Senate (Upper House)
Reason (R) is incorrect — In India, the number of seats in the Rajya Sabha varies by state based on population.
In the U.S.A., each state has equal representation in the Senate (two senators per state).
