The correct option is C because statement 1 (Calling Attention Motion is Indian innovation) and statement 3 (Motion of Thanks is voted) are correct, while statement 2 (Rajya Sabha using Adjournment Motion) is incorrect.

Indian parliamentary procedure has unique devices like the Calling Attention Motion. Different motions serve distinct purposes and have specific rules regarding which House can use them and whether they are voted upon.

The Calling Attention Motion is a unique Indian contribution to parliamentary procedure, allowing members to call a minister’s attention to urgent public matters. Adjournment Motion is a serious procedure used only in the Lok Sabha to discuss a matter of urgent public importance by interrupting normal business; Rajya Sabha cannot use it. The Motion of Thanks on the President’s Address is a formal motion debated and put to vote in both Houses. Amendments can also be moved to this motion.
