The correct answer is C. 1,2 and 4.
A no-confidence motion is a motion that is brought against the government in the Parliament. If the motion is passed, the government is dissolved and a new election is held.
The Constitution of India does not specifically mention no-confidence motions. However, the rules of procedure of the Parliament provide for such motions.
According to the rules of procedure, a no-confidence motion can be moved only in the Lok Sabha. It must be signed by at least 100 members of the House. If the motion is passed, the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers have to resign.
The gap between two no-confidence motions should be six months. This is to ensure that the government is not constantly facing no-confidence motions and is able to function effectively.
