Correct Answer:
C. Speaker of Lok Sabha
Explanation:
In accordance with Article 108 of the Indian Constitution, the President has the authority to call a joint sitting of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha to resolve legislative deadlocks. As per Article 118, this session is officially presided over by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. In the event that the Speaker is unavailable, the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha takes charge. If neither is present, the Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha assumes the role of presiding officer. It is important to note that the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, who serves as the Vice-President of India, does not lead these sessions because they are not a member of either House of Parliament.
