Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under Article 71(1) of the Constitution, all doubts and disputes arising out of or in connection with the election of a President or Vice-President are inquired into and decided by the SUPREME COURT of India—NOT the Election Commission (so I is false). Under Article 71(4), the election of a President CANNOT be called in question on the ground of any vacancy in the Electoral College (so II is false).
