For a sitting of the House to commence, the presence of a quorum is necessary. Quorum for Lok Sabha is one-tenth of the total number of members of the House, including the Speaker.

Statement B is correct; the sittings of the House are determined by the Speaker in consultation with the business advisory committee. Statement D is correct; under Article 100, a sitting cannot commence unless there is a quorum.
