D. Adjournment Motion
💡 Solution & Explanation
A Confidence Motion is a procedural device introduced solely by the ruling government in the Lok Sabha to establish that it commands an absolute majority on the floor of the House. Unlike a No-Confidence Motion, which is moved by the opposition to test the government's strength, a confidence vote is a proactive measure. It frequently occurs during coalition politics or when the President directs a newly appointed Prime Minister to prove support.
