Solution

The correct option is B Money

Money bills can be tabled only in Lok Sabha and not Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha cannot reject the bill. The changes suggested by the Rajya Sabha are not binding on the lower house. Thus, the Lok Sabha controls the finances. The Lok Sabha is directly elected representatives of the people and enjoys real power on behalf of the people.

In money matters Lok Sabha is supreme as Rajya Sabha can only delay a money bill for 14 days or give suggestions. If there is a joint session of the two Houses then the will of the Lok Sabha prevails due to its numerical supremacy. The Lok Sabha controls the Council of Ministers through No-Confidence Motion. The Rajya Sabha has no say in this matter.
