The correct option is D because both statements are incorrect. Special Mention is a device available in Rajya Sabha, and Short Duration Discussion was introduced much earlier than 1991.
Parliamentary procedures include various devices for members to raise matters of public importance. ‘Special Mention’ is a Rajya Sabha procedure, while ‘Short Duration Discussion’ has been a part of parliamentary practice for decades.
