Option C is incorrect. Appointing Judges to the Supreme Court is primarily a function of the President of India, who appoints judges after consulting with the Chief Justice of India and other judges as deemed necessary (Article 124). Parliament has a role in the impeachment of judges (Article 124(4)), but not in their appointment process itself. Options A, B, and D are indeed functions of the Parliament.

Parliament’s core functions include legislation (making laws), oversight of the executive (ensuring accountability), and financial control (approving budgets and controlling taxation). The judiciary is independent of the legislature and executive, with appointment powers vested in the executive (President) in consultation with the judiciary itself.

Parliament approves the budget and controls government expenditure through various committees. It exercises control over the executive through questions, zero hour, various motions, debates, and committees.
