Solution

The correct option is C Convening a joint sitting of the two Houses
Joint sitting is an extra ordinary mechanism provided by the Constitution for resolving the deadlock between both the Houses over the passing of the bill. The President summons joint sitting which is presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Basically a deadlock is seem to have occurred in following three situations after a bill has been passed by one House and transmitted to the other House:
1. If the bull is rejected by the other House;
2. If there is disagreement between the Houses regarding amendments to be made in bill;
3. If more than 6 months have passed from the date of receipt of bill by the other House without passing the bill.
The President can summon both the Houses to meet in a joint sitting for discussing , deliberating and voting on the bill to resolve the issue.
