Key Points

Vice-President

In India, Vice-President has the second-highest office in the country.
Article 63 of the Indian Constitution mentions the post of Vice-President
The Constitution states that the Vice President can be removed by a resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by an effective majority (i.e., majority of all the then member of the house) and agreed by the Lok Sabha with a simple majority (Article 67(b)).
The resolution can be initiated only in Rajya Sabha. Hence option 2 is correct.
But no such resolution may be moved unless at least 14 days advance notice has been given.
Notably, the Constitution does not list grounds for removal.
Supreme Court can also remove the Vice President for committing electoral malpractices and not fulfilling the eligibility criteria for the Rajya Sabha member while in office as per Article 71(1) of the constitution.
As per Article 71(1), it is also the duty of the Supreme Court to examine the doubts raised in connection with the conduct of a Vice President and remove the Vice President if found committing contempt of the constitution.
Hence, it is clear that the resolution for removing the Vice President of India can be moved to Rajya Sabha only.

Note: Supreme Court decides election disputes related to the office of Vice President
