Correct answer: B. 2 only

The Lok Sabha, as the directly elected representative body, holds the exclusive power to pass a motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers. This mechanism ensures executive accountability to the legislature. The ratification of an Emergency proclamation requires the concurrence of both Houses of Parliament. Impeachment proceedings against the President involve allegations being preferred by one House and investigated or voted upon by the other.
