D. It can only be introduced in the Rajya Sabha
💡 Solution & Explanation
A Censure Motion moved in the Lok Sabha must explicitly state the reasons for its adoption and can be directed against an individual minister or a collective group of ministers for failure to act. Unlike a no-confidence motion, passing a censure motion does not require the Council of Ministers to resign from office. It serves as a formal expression of disapproval by the lower house. Parliamentary motions are foundational topics for Indian governance and polity.
