Answer

Exam answer

(c) adjourn the house for lack of discipline..

Explanation

Read what the picture shows — disorder, not absence. The Speaker maintains discipline in the House and may adjourn it when order breaks down. Option (a) is the wrong REASON: a quorum adjournment happens when fewer than one-tenth of the members are present, which is a question of numbers, not behaviour. Only the President can dissolve the Lok Sabha, so (b) is out; and disqualification under the Anti-defection Law concerns changing parties, not unruliness.

In words

adjourn the house for lack of discipline..
