Solution

The correct option is C Parliamentarians enjoy freedom from arrest in criminal cases.
Members of Parliament enjoy privileges like freedom of speech in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the legislature. They also enjoy freedom from arrest in civil cases. They cannot be arrested for forty days before and after a session of Parliament. However, the idea is not extended to interfere with the administration of criminal justice in India..
