Answer
Exam answer
(b) Adjournment.
Explanation
An Adjournment Motion sets aside the normal business of the House so that a matter of urgent public importance can be debated at once. Distinguish the others by their effect: a No Confidence Motion, if passed in the Lok Sabha, brings the whole government down; a Censure Motion criticises a policy or a minister without removing the ministry; and prorogation is not a motion at all — it is the ending of a session by the President.
In words
Adjournment.
