The correct answer is: D. Adjournment Sine die
Adjournment Sine die is the adjournment of a legislative body without naming a day for reassembly. It is a Latin phrase that means “without day”. It is the most extreme form of adjournment, and it is used when the legislature is unable to reach a consensus on a matter or when it is necessary to adjourn for a long period of time.
Adjournment Sine die is different from other forms of adjournment in that it does not specify a date for the legislature to reconvene. This means that the legislature could be adjourned for an indefinite period of time, or even until it is dissolved.
Adjournment Sine die is a rare occurrence in the Indian Parliament. The last time it was used was in 1999, when the Lok Sabha was adjourned sine die after the government lost a confidence motion.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the situation in which a House of Parliament is adjourned without naming a day for reassembly.

- Option B, Adjournment of Debate, is the temporary suspension of a debate on a particular issue.
- Option C, Adjournment of the sitting of the House, is the end of a day’s session of the legislature.
