Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The Rajya Sabha has fourteen days from receipt to return a Money Bill with its recommendations. If it does not return the Bill within that period, Article 109(5) deems it passed by both Houses in the form passed by the Lok Sabha. This prevents the recommending House from indefinitely delaying a Money Bill.
