In Indian parliamentary functioning, “Zero Hour” means- A. Time before question hour B. First hour of the session C. Time immediately following question hour D. Acceptance of privilege motion

[amp_mcq option1=”Time before question hour” option2=”First hour of the session” option3=”Time immediately following question hour” option4=”Acceptance of privilege motion” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is C. Time immediately following question hour.

Zero Hour is a period of time in the Indian Parliament when members can raise matters of urgent public importance. It is immediately following Question Hour, which is the first hour of the day’s sitting of the House.

Option A is incorrect because the time before Question Hour is called Zero Hour only in the Lok Sabha. In the Rajya Sabha, it is called the “Questions Hour”.

Option B is incorrect because the first hour of the session is called the “Questions Hour”.

Option D is incorrect because the acceptance of a privilege motion is a separate matter that is not related to Zero Hour.
