Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 124(4) requires the address for removal of a Supreme Court judge to be supported in each House by a majority of the total membership and by at least two-thirds of the members present and voting, that is, "two-thirds of members present and voting in the House and majority of the total membership of the House".
