▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. amending the Constitution

While the Lok Sabha holds exclusive powers regarding the removal of the government through a no-confidence motion and controls financial matters like cut motions and money bills, both houses of Parliament possess equal authority in constitutional amendment procedures. The process for amending the Constitution, as outlined in Article 368, requires the special majority of both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha, giving them co-equal power in this domain.
