Answer

Exam answer

(b) Amendment of Constitution.

Explanation

Amending the Constitution is a LEGISLATIVE power of Parliament, not a device for controlling the executive — so (b) is the odd one out. The other three are genuine instruments of control: a No Confidence Motion removes the entire ministry, monetary control (cut motions, refusing demands for grants) starves it of funds, and the rejection of a government Bill is a direct defeat for it. The full list worth remembering: interpellation (Question Hour), vote of no confidence, adjournment motion, censure motion and financial control.

In words

Amendment of Constitution.
