Explanation

Option (a) is the correct answer

• A Prime Minister who is a member of the Rajya Sabha can participate in the proceedings of the Lok Sabha, including speaking on the Budget and making statements. However, since he is not a member of the Lok Sabha, he cannot vote there, including during a no-confidence motion, which is decided only by the Lok Sabha.
