Correct Answer:
B. Article 67
Explanation:
The procedure for removing the Vice-President of India is detailed in Article 67(b) of the Constitution. According to this provision, the Vice-President can be removed from office by a resolution passed by the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) by an effective majority—meaning a majority of all the then members of the House. This resolution must subsequently be agreed upon by the House of the People (Lok Sabha) with a simple majority. Additionally, the Constitution mandates that no such resolution can be moved unless a minimum of 14 days' notice has been provided to the Vice-President. Unlike the President, the Vice-President does not undergo a formal impeachment process, and the Constitution does not specify particular grounds for their removal.
