Solution

The correct option is B II only
If the President has notified about his intention to summon a joint sitting on a Bill, the Bill does not lapse even if the Lok Sabha is dissolved after the notification. If there is a deadlock between the two Houses regarding a Bill but the Lok Sabha is somehow dissolved, the Bill lapses. However, if the President has already notified the intention to summon a joint sitting and the Lok Sabha is dissolved before the joint sitting has actually taken place, the Bill doesn't lapse and the joint sitting takes place anyway.
