B. No-Confidence Motion
C. Censure Motion
D. Call-Attention Motion
💡 Solution & Explanation
An Adjournment Motion is introduced in the Lok Sabha to draw attention to a definite matter of urgent public importance and involves an element of censure against the government, leading to the suspension of normal business. It can be moved only in the Lok Sabha and requires the support of 50 members to be admitted. A Call-Attention Motion, conversely, does not involve any censure and can be raised without prior permission of the Speaker in some restricted formats but does not require fifty supporters.
