- A1, 2 and 3
- B1 and 2
- C2 and 3
- D1 onlyCorrect
Explanation
The correct option is D because only the first statement is true. The Parliament of the Russian Federation is officially known as the Federal Assembly.
Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect because they swap the roles of the two houses. The State Duma is actually the lower house of the Russian Parliament, while the Council of the Federation is the upper house. Therefore, since statements 2 and 3 are false, only statement 1 is correct.
