Correct Answer:
C. Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
According to Article 75(3), the Council of Ministers is collectively accountable to the Lok Sabha, which has the authority to oust them through a no-confidence motion. Although this specific term is not mentioned in the Constitution, it is established under Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha Rules. Such motions can only be initiated in the Lok Sabha; the Rajya Sabha lacks the power to introduce or pass a no-confidence motion to remove the council.
