D. To delay the passage of a financial bill
💡 Solution & Explanation
An Adjournment Motion is introduced in the Lok Sabha specifically to draw the attention of the House to a definite matter of urgent public importance with serious consequences. Since it disrupts normal parliamentary proceedings, it requires the backing of at least fifty members and cannot be moved in the Rajya Sabha. Parliamentary devices and motion types are staple topics in Indian polity.
