Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The Court said that only in the rarest of rare cases involving the dignity, integrity and independence of the Bar or Bench "Courts may ignore (turn a blind eye) to a protest abstention from work for not more than one day". Whether an issue qualifies is for the court to decide. The President of the Bar must first consult the Chief Justice or the District Judge, whose decision is final.
