The correct answer is D) ceases to be a member of the Force for the duration of his/her suspension. Suspension is a temporary state where a member is relieved of their duties but remains within the disciplinary control and is still a member of the force. They do not cease to be a member.

– Suspension is a disciplinary action or an interim measure pending inquiry. It does not terminate the employment or membership in the force.
– During suspension, a member is still subject to the rules, discipline, and responsibilities (in terms of conduct and adherence to rules) of the force.
– Penalties, including termination or dismissal, can be imposed after the completion of disciplinary proceedings, which may occur during or after the suspension period.

– Section 9(2) of the Central Industrial Security Force Act, 1968 read with relevant rules (e.g., CISF Rules) governs punishments and disciplinary procedures, including suspension. Suspension maintains the employer-employee relationship and the disciplinary jurisdiction over the suspended individual.
