Correct Answer:
B. President
Explanation:
Under Article 123 of the Indian Constitution, the President has the authority to promulgate ordinances when either House of Parliament is not in session. These ordinances carry the same legal weight as an Act of Parliament but are temporary measures intended to handle urgent matters that cannot wait for a regular legislative session. For an ordinance to remain in effect, it must be approved by Parliament within six weeks of its reassembly.
