A. 25 members
B. 30 members
C. 50 members✓ Correct Answer
D. 100 members

💡 Solution & Explanation

An Adjournment Motion requires the support of at least 50 members in the Lok Sabha to be admitted by the Speaker, ensuring that only matters of grave and urgent public importance interrupt regular parliamentary proceedings. Lower thresholds are not permitted because this motion is considered an extraordinary instrument that leads to a censure of the government. Rajya Sabha members are not permitted to move an Adjournment Motion.
