The correct option is C by the Members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha through impeachment
Impeachment of President means removal of the President from the office. Article 61of the Constitution of India provides the process of impeachment of the President on the ground of “violation of the Constitution.” The Article specifically provides that the charge shall be made by either House of Parliament. Such charge is contained in the resolution. The resolution shall be made only after providing at least 14 days written notice signed by not less 1/4th of the total members of the House. The resolution must be passed by 2/3rd of the total number of members of the both the Houses.
