The correct answer is C) the Deputy Speaker of the Lok Sabha.
Article 94(b) of the Constitution of India specifies that a member holding office as Speaker of the House of the People (Lok Sabha) may resign from his office by writing under his hand addressed to the Deputy Speaker. Similarly, the Deputy Speaker addresses his resignation to the Speaker.
The Speaker is elected by the Lok Sabha from amongst its members. The office of the Speaker is a highly respected and important constitutional post. The Speaker can be removed from office only by a resolution passed by a majority of all the then members of the House, which can be moved only after giving 14 days’ advance notice.
