The correct answer is C.

According to the established practice and procedure in Lok Sabha regarding Adjournment Motions (governed by Rules 56-62), the notice of an adjournment motion must be given to the Secretary-General by 10:00 hours on the day it is proposed to be moved. Copies of this notice are also required to be endorsed to the Speaker, the Minister concerned with the subject matter of the motion, and the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs. The Minister of Parliamentary Affairs is the liaison between the government and Parliament regarding the scheduling and transaction of government business, making them a necessary recipient of such notices.

An adjournment motion is an extraordinary procedure which, if admitted, leads to an adjournment of the normal business of the House to discuss a definite matter of urgent public importance. Due to its disruptive nature to the normal schedule, strict rules govern its admissibility and notice requirements. Notice is given to key parliamentary functionaries and government representatives.
