Correct Answer:
C. Either House of Parliament
Explanation:
According to Article 61 of the Indian Constitution, the process for the impeachment of the President can be initiated in either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. For the proceedings to begin, the charges must be preferred by one of the houses in the form of a resolution. This resolution requires a 14-day written notice signed by at least one-fourth of the total members of that house and must be passed by a majority of at least two-thirds of the total membership. Once passed, the other house investigates the charges, and if it also passes the resolution with a two-thirds majority, the President is removed from office.
