Answer 1

The correct answer is By an act of the Parliament.

Key Points

The creation of a new All India Service is governed by Article 312 of the Indian Constitution.
It requires a recommendation from the Rajya Sabha through a resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of its members present and voting.
Following the resolution, Parliament enacts a law to establish the service.
Examples of All India Services include the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Police Service (IPS), and Indian Forest Service (IFS).

Additional Information

By a resolution of the Rajya Sabha: While a resolution of the Rajya Sabha is indeed required to initiate the process of creating a new All India Service, it alone does not create the service. The Parliament must enact a law following the resolution.
By an order of the President: The President cannot unilaterally create a new All India Service. The process requires legislative action, as outlined in Article 312 of the Constitution.
By a resolution of the UPSC: The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) is a constitutional body responsible for recruitment to services. However, it has no authority to create a new All India Service.
