Solution

The correct option is D A simple majority in the joint session.
Bills to amend the Indian Constitution need to separately pass in both the houses by more than 50% of the strength of the house as well as a two-thirds majority of the members present in the house. In case of a deadlock between the two houses, a joint session cannot be called to amend the Constitution.
