Answer 1

Hint: The Speakers presided over the Lok Sabha and were chosen among the members for the term of five years. He also serves as the mouthpiece of the House and conveys the messages.

Complete answer:
The Speaker is the Presiding Officer of the House. For his office, no qualifications are required except that he must be a member of the Lok Sabha. The Speaker and Deputy Speaker are elected by the House in its first meeting, an election which is usually unanimous.
The speaker presides over the joint sittings of the two Houses of the Parliament, and conducts its proceedings. He maintains the discipline. If he finds any member disrupting the flow, he may warn or ask him/her to leave the house. He can suspend a member found guilty of violating the decorum.
The Speaker, in consultation with other members of the business committee of the House and the Prime Minister is responsible for fixing the agenda of the House. To put up questions, each member needs the permission of the speaker.
He allows the members to introduce the bills, move motions, and speak for the allotted time. He may interpret rules and adjourn the meeting as and when needed.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: He can be removed if he ceases to become a member of the Lok Sabha or if the House passes a resolution supported by majority of its members. To initiate a no confidence motion against the speaker, a prior notice of 14 days is required to be given.
