💡 Solution & Explanation
The Speaker of the Lok Sabha holds the final authority to permit or disallow an Adjournment Motion because it interrupts the normal business of the House to discuss a matter of urgent public importance. Such a motion requires the support of at least 50 members and cannot be introduced in the Rajya Sabha. The Speaker ensures that parliamentary rules and decorum are maintained during such urgent discussions.
