Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The President cannot hold another office of profit, and either House of Parliament may initiate an impeachment charge for violation of the Constitution. Eligibility for election requires completion of 35 years of age, along with Indian citizenship and qualification for election to the Lok Sabha. Thus, the office-of-profit and impeachment statements are correct, while the 30-year eligibility statement is incorrect.
