Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Article 124(4), a judge of the Supreme Court, including the Chief Justice, can be removed only by an order of the President passed after an address by each House of Parliament, supported by the special majority, on the ground of "Proved misbehaviour or incapacity". Either ground is enough, so an option naming only one of them is incomplete. Corruption is not a separate constitutional ground; it can lead to removal only if it amounts to proved misbehaviour.
