Correct Answer:
A. Article 88
Explanation:
According to Article 88 of the Indian Constitution, every Minister and the Attorney-General of India has the legal right to speak and participate in the proceedings of either House of Parliament, any joint sitting, or any parliamentary committee they are a member of. However, this provision specifically clarifies that they are not entitled to vote in a House of which they are not a member. This allows Ministers to represent their departments and address legislative business across both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, regardless of which House they were elected to.
