A. It requires prior recommendation of the President before introduction.
B. If passed in the Lok Sabha, the entire Council of Ministers, including ministers representing constituencies in Kerala, must resign.✓ Correct Answer
C. It can be introduced in either House of Parliament after a 14-day notice period.
D. It specifically targets individual ministers rather than collective responsibility.
💡 Solution & Explanation
Article 75(3) establishes that the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, meaning a successful No-Confidence Motion forces the entire cabinet to resign. Individual ministers are not targeted by this specific motion, and no prior recommendation from the President is needed for introduction. A motion of no confidence requires support from at least 50 members for admission.
