Answer 1

The correct option is C A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2

If a major event takes place that requires the urgent attention of the House, then members can pass an Adjournment Motion. The Parliament can also pass a ‘Censure Motion’ to criticise a policy or statement by the entire government or a particular official. The members of the Lok Sabha have the power to pass a ‘Cut Motion'. This is a veto against an allocation in the Budget. This means that the members oppose a certain provision in the Bill. A No-Confidence Motion is passed when the majority of Lok Sabha members decide that the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers are no longer fit to run the government.
