💡 Solution & Explanation
Prorogation refers to the formal termination of a parliamentary session by Presidential order under Article 85, bringing all pending notices to a close except for bills. Adjournment merely suspends work during a sitting without ending the session, whereas dissolution ends the life of the Lok Sabha entirely. Prorogation can be exercised by the President even while the House is in session.
