Solution

The correct option is C A 3 member committee is setup to carry out the investigations.
In order to remove a judge, an impeachment motion has to be passed by either Houses of the Parliament or State Assembly by a two-thirds majority. If the motion is admitted, a three-member committee is set up by the other house of parliament to investigate the allegations. Based on this outcome, the relevant house has to vote for impeachment with a two-thirds majority. After this, the other house of parliament has to examine the report and vote again on the impeachment. Both Houses then need to ask the President or Governor to remove the judge.
