[C] Both 1 and 2

[D] Neither 1 nor 2

Answer: C

Notes:

Explanation: All doubts and disputes in connection with election of the Vice-President are inquired into and decided by the Supreme Court whose decision is final.

The election of a person as Vice-President cannot be challenged on the ground that the Electoral College was incomplete (i.e., existence of any vacancy among the members of Electoral College).
If the election of a person as Vice-President is declared void by the Supreme Court, acts done by him before the date of such declaration of the Supreme Court are not invalidated (i.e., they continue to remain in force).
