Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Article 95(2) provides that in the absence of the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker the person determined by the rules of procedure presides, and the Lok Sabha rules provide for a panel of Chairpersons nominated by the Speaker from among the members for this purpose. A Speaker pro tem presides only until a Speaker is chosen, and the Secretary-General is an officer of the House, not a member who can preside.
