Solution

The correct option is B Adjourn the house
Adjournment, Prorogation and Dissolution are applicable to Lok Sabha. While adjournment terminates a sitting, prorogation terminates a session. Dissolution terminates the Lok Sabha itself and needs fresh elections. Adjournment is done by presiding officers i.e. speaker or deputy speaker in Lok Sabha whereas prorogation is done by the President. Dissolution of Lok Sabha is also done by the President.
