Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Correct Answer — B
Explanation
Statement 1 is incorrect: An Emergency Proclamation must be approved by both Houses, not Lok Sabha alone.
Statement 2 is correct: Under Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the Lok Sabha, so a no-confidence motion can only be moved and passed there.
Statement 3 is incorrect: Impeachment of the President under Article 61 can be initiated in either House, not exclusively the Lok Sabha.
