Select the correct answer using the code given below :

  1. A.1 and 2
  2. B.2 only
  3. C.1 and 3
  4. D.3 only
▶ Answer & Explanation

Correct answer: B. 2 only

The Lok Sabha alone holds the power to pass a no-confidence motion against the Council of Ministers. This is a crucial democratic check on the executive, ensuring accountability to the elected representatives. While both Houses are involved in ratifying the declaration of Emergency, and impeachment proceedings against the President can be initiated in either House, the final authority for removing the Council of Ministers rests exclusively with the Lok Sabha.
